I know that Jaakko pays a visit to choralnet on a regular basis - really glad you have posted this, as he is a deep musical thinker... thank you!

I mostly lurk, but I felt I had to break cover on this one, as the web page cited is 9 years old; though its content has not really dated, it contains an obsolete link for my website, the current one being:

Thank you for "breaking cover" and sharing the link to your current website. Please break cover more often?
