31 (or so) left to typeset

As of this morning, there are 31 more tunes (or so) left to typeset before the completion of the project. The fuzziness owes to the fact that I am yet unsure of how many tunes will be left for a later edition (for various reasons, a number of the tunes which were originally intended to be included have been postponed for future versions of the book).

As of right now:

  • 9 texts are still waiting to be paired with tunes
  • 1 text/tune pair is  awaiting typesetting
  • 1 newly composed tune is awaiting editing
  • A number of small issues still need to be addressed with a handful of tunes, but otherwise,
  • 170 entries have been typeset! 
To keep with the theme of "psalm-X-in-honor-of-X-to-go" (gonna need to come up with a new schtick soon), I'd like to share with you the entry for Psalm 31, a newly composed tune. The tune is in honor of a singer many of you have probably encountered in a hollow square someplace, Jonathon Smith! We had the chance to give it a shot together when Jonathon stopped by our Wednesday evening Southern Harmony singing some weeks back. I incorporated a few atypical compositional techniques with this one, so hope I've done right by him with this tune...y'all let me know what you think!
