Da de unde. Am luat "Moissons" si fac din asta uvertura, plus II-III.

Chichiţe noi in shazar.pl:

harmony: std, Hecate, rootless
transpo: don't always try all 12 transpositions. May use just one (i.e. none) to preserve Hecate tonality

I should add "Macbeth has murthered sleep", especially since it is a subject dearest to my heart. Or maybe add it to the sleepwalking scene...
Add "water" motif (Vltava, etc) to the end of ii-iie: "A little water clears us of this deed"

Both done.

V-VIII is ready

The opera is as ready as it will ever be. I cannot check orchestration or interpretation or voices, because MIDI is too coarse for that. I could print neat scores.

From what I hear, far from charming. Interesting?
