At choir practice tonight, and we're singing the King's Singers arrangement of Lullabye by Billy Joel.
I've sung this before, but how did I never catch the egregious counterpoint violations in the last measure here?
Doubled 7th on chord, while moving in parallel octaves‽
Shame on your game.

I haven't taught music theory in a long time, but this would bring out the red pen for sure.
@voltronic I envisioned my second year music theory prof, decrying what would he would surely call an abomination!
That said, when I write in Dorian mode, I sometimes DO put the fifth in the bass - just enough to give it that old timey flavor. 😉
