Thank you Andrew Robinson for at least casting some light upon the word-context of this day. I hadn't the faintest what this was all about and didn't dare ask. I was wondering about the "whiteness" of music, but I don't want to openly be the dummy all the time. Thank you for your post.
Interesting . Never knew that the Council of Trente kept itself
also busy with things like this. \:\) Palestrina...

See the connection with pale?
