    Only when Randy D screws up. Schadenfreude.

    A life well-lived? Lying in wait to pounce on trivial irrelevant non-essential minutiae?. Not my cuppa tea Sbf. Thank you for your reply and Happy Wednesday! :)

    Randy pounces on everything, so it's fun to get a little dig back on the rare occasions he splits an infinitive, makes a misspelling or whatever.

    I think your idea of FUN and mine are very different Sbf. I guess you don't annoy easily do you? I do so I avoid everything annoying and stay with what's fun FOR ME!  I don't have time to waste so I don't! Thank you for your reply and Happy Thursday to thee! :)

    In serious choral work, the more common pronunciation of the scale is Do Re Mi Fa So La Si Do.

    Do you consider opera to be "serious"? I trained under Maestro Leonard Lye of the Elizabethan Opera, and once played Papageno in Die Zauberflöte. I've never seen the major seventh subtonic referred to as "Si". This post was edited by Slartibartfast at August 31, 2018 3:37 AM MDT

    In my experience in both SATB and TTBB chorus and glee club ensembles, it's been predominantly called Si. I'm surprised that you are unfamiliar with this. Perhaps it's an American thing and not an Australian thing? This post was edited by Stu Spelling Bee at August 30, 2018 11:28 PM MDT

    Must be, I haven't seen it. Doesn't seem to be European either - the Cesari Vocalises (Italian) don't mention it, nor the German lieder I studied. American sheet music I have, scales I don't.

    I have a problem with all of them when they are used by a grammar Nazi to belittle or attack someone.  Because it could cause new members to not stick around or cause regular members to leave. The more members you have  on a question site the better the chances of finding an answer. Cheers!

    Suck it up, buttercup.  Raising the bar is never a bad idea.  Never.
