Well, Google’s search results feel crappy enough today that I’m gonna break down and give Kagi a try.
I read this book to my kids dozens (hundreds?) of times when they were young but never considered it with the detail and joy these guys did. A delightful read.

Hi, I'm Chris.
ne cadant in obscurum
I am singing in the Orchestra Iowa chorus for the spring performance of Mozart’s Requiem and we’re in rehearsals right now. And I know this is a hazard of learning and performing music, but I have had this single phrase stuck in my head every day for TWO FULL WEEKS at this point.
Not sure what it is about this particular line. Maybe the bit of time I spent working out in my head that big jump did it… a major seventh is a fun one to navigate, and in this spot the tenors are the only ones singing, so it’s naked and we really need to nail it.
Whatever the reason, I’ll be glad when some other musical phrase supplants this one as my persistent earworm. I mean, I love me some Mozart, but this has been long enough.
