<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Just because they didn't, doesn't make it right,<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Make it "right"? That's a bit misleading. You mean simply that it is not in accordance with the strict rules that you've been taught as a classically trained vocalist. However, these "rules" are only traditional rules, dating back a long time ago. One who is so well-versed in the rules (to be comissioned to do a soundtrack is a good indication of this) like those involved with the soundtrack know when it's okay and how to bend the rules. The soundtrack is not expected to follow the 'rules' of a classical symphony in sonata form just as much as a jazz trumpet player using the ascending melodic minor scale up and down isn't.<P>I also brought up the diction/pronunciation thing only to say that you using the word 'diction' here is confusing to those looking on that are not versed in formal music training, and that when they use 'pronunciation,' they mean the same thing you do.<p>[ June 19, 2002: Message edited by: Legalos ]
