Edna's liturgical music

• for solo cantillation: prayer modes are small subsets of 17edo, 22edo + pure primes >= 13, or 31edo + pure primes >=11
  • Erlich decatonic is a good utility scale
• for harmonizing: for the "better" tunings, often uses jazzy extensions and enharmonic modifications in addition to meantone + otonal JI
• a capella: freer modulations, not necessarily melodic
