I am singing in a choir concert tonight and have a short solo. Last night at the dress rehearsal, I made a good fool of myself attempting to sing it correctly with the new-sounding orchestra accompaniment. I just couldn’t hear the notes! Then when i got home to my piano to investigate, i discovered the problem: there was a tri-tone hiding mid-way through. This interval is commonly known as “the Devil’s interval” and is extremely difficult to hear.

At least now i know what i’m up against! Time to perform an exorcism on that horrible melody and conquer that cursed tri-tone!
