Interactive Sacred Choral Works Game (Selection Thread)

[Sammy]

Our goal is to select 20 sacred choral works  and then vote to determine the top five compositions.

Selection Rules:

1.  You may select one or two works on a daily basis.

2.  Once you have selected a particular work, you may not pick that work again - it's one and done.

3.  If and when that work is selected by two fellow game participants, it will be game ready.

My two picks for today:

Bach - Mass in B minor
Mozart - Great Mass in C minor

Looking forward to your selections!!

Tallis - Spem in Alium

EDIT: The Pergolesi is not strictly choral, is that allowed, Sammy? If not, replace it with Haydn - Missa In tempore belli

Listened to parts of both this past week.

Karl Henning: Nuhro!

[Sammy]

I find the Karl Henning entry problematic.  It's like a judge being one of the contestants.  Also, Karl being a veteran and well-liked GMG member, personal considerations could influence voting patterns.  How do you guys look at it?  What does Karl think?  I'm going to leave Karl off the list until I get some feedback.

[The One]

Bach St Matthew Passion
Mozart Requiem

How do you guys look at it? 

No. Good for a poll, bad for a game.

I'm fine with it. I don't think Karl will vote himself.

I agree with you.  I thought it odd when someone put his name forward in the last game, and see it a superfluous vote made with a wink.

[Baron Scarpia]

My thought is that it was inappropriate to put a member forward. If I vote for Mozart, Haydn is not here to be miffed. Do I have to slight Henning to place my vote for Mozart? Do I have to slight other composers who may be participating here if I vote for Henning?

I think "present company excluded" should be the rule.
