A couple of people who have reviewed my book talked about the need to hear the music I wrote about. My publisher looked into including recordings in the ebook edition, but I think between getting permissions and the cost it just became unworkable.
I worry that people won’t find the right pieces. For instance, Victoria wrote more than one Agnus Dei and there are two in the mass I wrote about. The Agnus Dei I feature is the second one. I found a lovely version on YouTube, sung by the Choir of St Martin in the Field.
I thought of putting together a Spotify playlist. But how many people use Spotify? Perhaps I should make a page of links here.
Grace Church, the place where the Choral Society sings, in 1846, when it was just built …
Grace Church now.
I’ve got the eBook version and having the music embedded would’ve been cool. Links would work and Spotify will work too. I have Spotify to listen to Senor Coconut (long story . . .).
I just created a Spotify playlist called Imperfect Harmony. I’m missing one piece I wrote about, Toward the Unknown Region. Now I have to figure out how to tell the world know it’s there.
Oh, I see sending it as a tweet worked! Do I have to be logged into Spotify for people to be able to access it?
I tried to access via Facebook and that didn’t work. Maybe you do have to log into Spotify? I really would love to hear the pieces (hint).
I’m logged in right now though. Maybe you have to?
Spotify doesn’t work in Canada.
But I bought a Kindle version of your book yesterday! THAT works!
Congrats to you on all the great reviews you’re getting!
Canada makes an appearance in one chapter!
And thank you for buying my book!!
