I shan't vote for myself;  and I will under no circumstances be miffed.

I would not be miffed, to be (so to speak) disqualified from the running, either.  Use your own discretion, be at liberty.

[Gurn Blanston]

Haydn - Harmoniemesse

Mozart - Requiem

[ritter]

Stravinsky- Canticum Sacrum
Schmidt- Das Buch mit sieben Siegeln

[Sammy]

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.

Boy, I love making numbers decisions - hate making people decisions.  However, I agree with Baron Scarpia.  Since most of the feedback was not to include, and Karl seems to be neutral about it, I'm using my semi-executive postion to exclude.  By the way, on another game on the internet of living composers, Karl was one the composers I nominated.  I want to clearly state that compositional quality has nothing to do with my concerns.

Okay, back to Cato.  Feel free to make another selection on this fine day - upper 70's here in Albuquerque.

I did not think it was, and I thank you.

I find the Karl Henning entry problematic.

I don't. Keep Henning in.


Edit: Just saw that the decision has already been made.
Karl, with regard to these "games", you're out there with Beethoven, it seems... 

[Baron Scarpia]

I'm already formulating my strategy. It appears that Mozart Requiem is soon to advance, and that the Mozart vote will be split between the mass in c-minor and the requiem. I will try to advance things like the Bruckner Te Deum and the Beethoven Missa Solemnis, so that the cacophony vote is also split.

Some of us like cacophonous works like Mozart's.

[Cato]

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.

Wow!  I had no fears at all about fairness!  Nuhro simply occurred to me as one a great sacred work for chorus!

Okay, back to Cato.  Feel free to make another selection on this fine day - upper 70's here in Albuquerque.

Do you know the series from a few years ago In Plain Sight?

Does Mahler's Eighth Symphony qualify as a sacred choral work?

If not, then make it Cesar Franck's  Psalm 150 !

Franck it is.

Yes, I remember In Plain Sight.  Some of it was filmed in Albuquerque; so was some of Breaking Bad.  Actually, the the home used for Breaking Bad is right in my immediate neighborhood.

My wife soured on Breaking Bad after the third year, I think: she just found it had become for her too dark and gruesome.  She still much prefers In Plain Sight.

I like both, and followed Breaking Bad all the way through! 

Anyway, for those who do not know the Franck work:
