... with a certain realism.
Sometimes I explain to myself that the history ofsegregation could not be
otherwise. It would have been difficult for the master to accept equality with the former
slave. However, the way that Maya has described the situation in the book

Although, they were living o ...

Viderunt Omnes By Magister Leo
... Ensemble Organum (C. 1990), features a much freer rhythmic approach. These will be referred to as "metric" and "free" respectively.
The metric version has a Western feel that would seem more "correct" to ears of European leaning (or learning). Much as we tend to view the past through the prism of today, those who eventually set these ancient chants in standardized notation saw them through an equally tainted gaze.
