My favorite was the long bugles that played during the first service. Yeah, they were good but when the brass dropped in God Save The King... I mean... WOW!!

Imagine having perfect pitch and having to listen to that 'ish LOL. Bagpipes have no dynamics and can't change keys. Because of the under/overtones, it's an ear nightmare. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KVG_DC Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 True story. A friend of mine who was the head pastor at the Deaf church when I was getting started had perfect pitch. Which I always thought was ironic, here she is with perfect pitch and musical talent and she opts to serve as pastor of a Deaf church. One of her sons and his friends start a band in High School and use the basement of their house for practice. None of them know anything about music as they get started. So...was continually tormented by the sounds from the basement at home because not one of them knew what 'playing in tune' meant apparently. She's also got synesthesia where she sees very specific colors for various tones. When research came out on that being perhaps tied to perfect pitch she was floored, "You know, I've always associated specific colors when I hear tones and sometimes it's the color being off that tells me the pitch is flat or sharp." I've always thought that phenomenon would be a cool idea for a show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troopers1 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I was struck by this fact: Hearing great choral and instrumental performances is now limited to only the rarest and most formal proceedings. A huge percentage of people watching the funeral will not hear these things again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coronation is coming in the spring/summer (I have seen speculation that it will be Friday, 2 June 2023, which is the 70th anniversary of QEthe2nd's corronation). This will be a far happier occasion. And no country does this better than the Brits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IllianaLancerContra Posted December 15, 2022 Author Share Posted December 15, 2022 (edited) As an attempt to mitigate some of the sadness from the last few days, you may enjoy this. It is the return of the marching & musical units to Wellington Barracks (near Buckingham Palace) after the funeral of Queen Elisabeth II.
