Hello again, Martin.
Yes, I agree that it is neat, and also more than that... Those are my
impressions that in Val;derrabano's duets, 3 unison arrangements do
mimic the Holy trinity. As for the others, the 3 at a third, 4 at a
fourth, and five at a fith are certainly not coincidental, but very
cleverly planned.
This kind of symmentry or symbolism is seen throughout the genius of
the renaissance.
