Magnificat, for unaccompanied choir, was written for the New York Virtuoso Singers in 2000. It is dedicated to the loving memory of my great-aunt Dorothy McMullin, Sister of Mercy (1904-1999), whose love and joy, kindness and good humor inspired all who knew her.
@classicalmusic@composers@contemporarymusic@mcmullin David: I adore this piece. It demonstrates your skill not only with composition, but with knowledge of the human voice, parts singing, and pressing the edges of possibility.
I will listen again very soon since I am so taken with the beauty of this work.
@Crell It's made by Google. They've only ever paid php lip service, and only if there was some monetary value to them. Things like GData and AppEngine only had good PHP support by them in the early web 2.0 days, when PHP was a more popular/visible choice in the larger web dev ecosystem.
So I'm bummed, but not surprised.
(Also: Not mentioning Packagist on PHP.net doesn't help. All the options listed are endorsed by their languages. I hate that PHP doesn't.)
@Crell I do market research yearly, and there's this really weird dichotomy of "PHP is everywhere, powers the vast majority of the web, and has a disproportionate number of developers worldwide" and "PHP is an antiquated language that nobody uses for new projects, nobody teaches, and there aren't enough developers". The truth is likely somewhere in the middle, but it's hugely flabbergasting.
