quote: "His voice-leading is considerably smoother and follows the "rules" more frequently than the work of many of his contemporaries, for instance avoiding the parallel perfect intervals and open fifths which are a common feature of New England psalmody."

What is the source/basis for this statement? In my experience his music has displayed voice leading that is, if anything, more idiosyncratic. What is interesting to me about his music is the degree to which there seems to be a logic of melodic line which leads to awkward harmonic motions, but certainly not 'voice-leading' in the typical sense. Perhaps I misunderstand you? In any case, I would be curious to know if this was a sourced notion or an opinion. 22:53, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
