Anyone who has ever performed Handel's Messiah could probably score multiple wins on this board.

Re-veal-ED!!!
Novello vs. Schirmer fails
"Why are we doing the Easter parts at Christmas?"
"Just sneak a breath somewhere!"
I'm embarrassed to admit I understand *maybe* 10% of the bingo card above 😓
My love of music is mostly visceral & almost entirely unmediated by intellect, though.
Not saying my ignorance is a good thing; just admitting to it.

Don't be embarrassed at all. Most of these things would only be heard during rehearsals. Maybe you'll have the opportunity to sing it someday. If you join up with a decent community choir, there's a good chance it might happen.
Everyone comes to their musical experience in their own way. All paths are true ones for those who walk them.
Yeah, gonna say...
I LOVE music, and life without it would be a mistake; that said, I've proven utterly incapable of *making* music - and not through lack of trying, believe me. The only instrument I've had even the remotest aptitude for is the piano...and even that, only barely...and out of a variety of beloved instruments. I have tried. Trust me.
As for singing...yeah, No, don't have the voice, can't hold a note or carry a tune. You'd find cats in boiling water more melodious 😬
I *would* say the sound of me singing has sent people BACK into therapy, though if I'm being honest, fairly certain none of those people were ever *IN* therapy before, so...it'd be technically untrue 🙄😂
Notably, as I love listening to music ever so much, I'm a huuuuuge music consumer, and have LOTS of respect for those with the talent to compose and/or play it, and even more for those like yourself who understand the "technical" aspects of it, which you rather obviously & abundantly possess.
I have loads of respect for you (I'm far too arrogant to idolize anyone: don't take it personally), which is to say I def. find your posts fascinating, though I can't claim to understand 100%.
