Enjoy!

Hearing the soundtrack was my greatest joy. It was scored by one of my favorite Yiddish #composers, #HenokhKon, who created the #music for the 1937 film classic #TheDybbuk. In his heyday between the world wars, #Kon was already renowned as a prolific creator of catchy #songs and sophisticated multi-genre instrumental repertoire, even years before his first film commissions.
My ears perk up for Kon’s distinctive, eclectic sound textures (as well as ingenious folk-stylized #song repertoire) — from the iconic #dance sequences of The #Dybbuk, to angst-driven passages in the #Bundist quasi-#documentary #MirKumenOn (called Children Must Laugh in English), to darkly ironic background cues for the low-budget #FreylekheKabtsonim (Jolly Paupers).

Olivier Messiaen's "Technique de mon langage musical" (1944) can be a little dense at times and hard to unpack. Even more so if one is in the middle of composing and wants to refresh on a particular technique he described ... it can completely break the flow.
I worked with Claude Opus over the weekend to remedy this for my needs, and hopefully it will be helpful to others as well:
