My 2020 New Year's Resolution is:
Write more music.

A necessary part of that is: go back and study the music I have loved more closely.
So that's how I found myself Googling modal theory and starting threads about chant harmonization.

And - to my delight but not my surprise - I find myself back here, in this weird little community where I spent so much of my time, and where I have asked all of my questions already, and already had them answered. (This feels like a metaphor for something...)

Every Google search leads back here, where these questions have been asked (over and over) and patiently answered in several dozen threads. (Along with a stunning number of rare book scans on Jeff Ostrowski's site.)

So anyway I just DLed like a 1000 pages of chant theory which I will definitely read.

Thank you all for making church music a little more beautiful, and making the world a little more weirder.

Oh and especially thank you to Richard Chonak (@chonak) for maintaining this forum for all these years. PDFs uploaded a decade ago are still available? Amazing.
