Hi Margo,

Enjoyed your three voice setting of "May I have your attention please".

I've been playing along on tenor recorder. Would prob. sound nice on
three tenor recorders.

Now wouldn't it be nice if they played something like that in a
library at closing time instead of an anouncement and a boring bell
or whatever.

If anyone wants to look at the .ps file in windows:

you need to install Ghostscript and GSView. Both free.

Also very interested in reading your history of harmony from
middle ages perspective.

The idea of continually moving away from and back to
octave / unison as place of rest is something FTS uses
in many of the fractal tunes, so thinking about the history of
such ideas in development of harmony may well be helpful for
future development of it. In fact I have just added a new option
that adds in extra dissonant notes to the music, which highlights
this continual movement away from and back to unison / octaves:

The one that uses this is "approaching instability".

"Pythag diatonic tune" sounds somewhat "early music" inspired.
It uses only octaves and unisons for new notes (as do a fair number
of the fractal tunes), without the new option for extra
dissonances. I've done a score for the first three pages of it,
so you can have a look at it if interested.
