Very funny episode! Hahahaha Parallel seconds are hard, specially with two different tonalities. I recorded 3 voices for a demo song last week, main melody and two secondary voices. The final result of the arrangement was very good but the lines were very difficult to sing. The arranger said that a full choir will record the song besides the soloists and he wrote that way because he had only me but it will be written properly later. And I know his work, I can say his counterpoint and voice leading are impeccable. Thank you so much for the video!

[@KnutsMusic]

Yes, it can often be difficult to find a good balance between good voice leading and interesting harmonies, though I enjoy this challenge, and trying to find the best solution! It's especially satisfying when you get a piece of music with a lot of close harmonies that isn't hard to perform since the voice leading is good throughout!

[@KnutsMusic]

Have you ever sung a piece with terrible voice leading? Please share your experience! X-D

[@jihhwood]

Alas, Knut, I am the guilty one (rather than the victim), having recently worked out a lovely little (2:05) "hymn-like" piece with delightful SATB harmonies but rather demanding voice leading here and there . I'm going to work on cleaning up the voice leading, where I can, following some of your suggestions! I'd be pleased to send it to you for a critique if you're interested.
