Re: [Finale] Finale 25 Octaves

Actually, I wrote my suggestion immediately after your query posted - but
for some reason, it was held up in moderation for - well, nearly a full
day!  Ah well.  Glad the problem was resolved, Lawrence.  And now: THIS
response will probably be posted...in a day or two !!

Best wishes -

Re: [Finale] [OT] plural of rubato = rubati?

2011-03-25 Thread MSO 

I would have to agree with Dalvin re: the pronunciation of RO-dee-oh.

There's nothing ignorant about it.  Y'ever been out west?  Regional 
pronunciation does not connote ignorance; after all: the word has been 
virtually re-defined as a uniquely Western US event over a 
century-and-a-half.   Not the same as its Spanish antecedent - event OR 
pronunciation.  It's RO-dee-oh!   Just as it's Ne-VAA-da and NEVER 
Ne-VAH-da!


And I would dare say that anyone - specially any 'them green dude Eastern 
fellers - even that-there Copland-feller (who I understand were born in NOO 
YORK CITY) who pronounces it any way OTHER than RO-dee-oh don't know what 
he's talkin' about!!


Although: I DO smile when I write that, pard'ner!

And now: hunkerin' back down in the dark.

John,

I disagree.  RO-dee-oh is an American pronunciation of a Spanish (Mexican)
word.  There are many examples of such borrowed words that are not 
commonly

pronounced as they would be in Mexico or Spain:  Animas as in the Animas
River; Santa Fe, Santa Rosa, Amarillo, Lamesa, Tucumcari, chile (chili) 
etc.

As do the feminine alumna and the plural alumni, which are still
universally used and understood.  Syllabi is commonly used in the
academy, although it ALMOST seems pretentious.

And then there are those pesky words that seem to be in the middle of
their transition:  data (always plural) and datum (singular); and
even worse, media (always plural) and medium (singular).

For some borrowed and assimilated words singers have to make choices
(unless a composer has made it perfectly clear):  ro-DEH-oh (Spanish)
or RO-dee-oh (ignorant American!).
