That's so exciting to me...especially as I am a soprano. But really, how cool that we get a little piece of something new from one of the greatest western composers of all time?

Wow!
How can they be sure it is for real?
Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
They validate the notation with other samples I think...
Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
I hope it is real. I'm sure it is.
Oh, I hope I'm not raining on a parade. I was just thinking that it really is a fabulous find, and wondering how they know for sure it is what they think it is.

Cecily needs to record a version of it for our acapella club Posted by Mr J Vagabond (Member # 8017) on :
That is absolutely fantastic. I wish things like this would happen more often.

That is *SO* cool!!!
<-- also a most excited soprano!

Don't worry Katie, I was skeptical too. The wording of the article made me think that they've had it for a while and that they've finally validated it...so I'm hoping that it's the real thing. It looks like his handwriting to me! *giggle*

You can listen to the NPR story (and music clip) here.
