Ad Hoc Singers Website Changes
- Wed 2008 May 07: Standard weekly updates (pieces rehearsed, rehearsal notes,
virtual sticky (refreshments), and the main pages).
Tweaked the layout of the roster on the I Maestri delle Cappelle concert page.
(Made the 3 columns left, center, and right justified, as they are on the main index page.
Probably should do that with all 3-column roster lists....
(Actually, the main page wasn't done that way before – but it is now.))

Split the pieces rehearsed page into 2 separate pages – one for the Fall of 2007,
and the current page for the Winter/Spring 2008.
The whole-year page was getting unwieldy, and for everything except the Byrd Mass there was a clear break between what we rehearsed before and after
the new year.
Updated the archive page with a link to the Fall 2007 page.

- Thu 2004 May 27:
Created a page for the January 31, 1993 concert -- In Praise of Polyphony.
There will be a link to it from the concerts page, once the concerts page is created.

Louise gave us the program list for the Dominican Retreat fundraiser.
Updated the rehearsals page,
the rehearsal notes page,
and the rehearsal notes on the main page.

and the rehearsal notes on the main page.
- Tue 2004 May 18:
Added a page of .workmandb entries for all of AD HOC's CDs,
for the Unix program workman (plays audio CDs).
- Sun 2004 May 16:
Created a page of interesting links.
The main content so far is a list of places we've sung (with dates).
I plan to make a page listing past concerts, largely duplicating this info, but including concert times and a list of pieces (if I have it).
Put a link to the links on the main page.
- Sat 2004 May 15:
Removed the link to the Choral Public Domain Library from the rehearsals page.
It seemed out of place, and at some point I expect to create a separate page of
interesting links.
(Kept the link to the CPDL PDF of
Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina's motet Lauda Sion.)
- Wed 2004 May 12:
Rearranged the rehearsals page to show all the recent rehearsal dates of pieces, instead of just the last rehearsal date.
(I never kept track before of when we rehearsed what, so if any of you can provide additional information, please do, thanks.)

Updated the rehearsals page.
Updated the rehearsal notes page.
- Mon 2004 May 10: Updated the rehearsal notes page.
- Wed 2004 May 05: Added a new page of notes for people who've missed rehearsals.
Updated the rehearsals page.
- Sun 2004 May 02: Added links on the other Ad Hoc Singers page with another mention of the
Images Ad Hoc Singers, in Nelson, BC;
the Crediton, UK group;
and the Conwy, Wales group.
And 2 links for the new entry Parkway Presbyterian Church of Corpus Christi, Texas -- newsletters [PDF] from
November 20, 2003 and
November 14, 2002.
- Sat 2004 May 01: Replaced the links to the favicon images on this page of site changes with inline images.
- Thu 2004 Apr 29: Added a new page -- links to photo albums.
- Wed 2004 Apr 28: Updated the rehearsals page.
Row-spanned composers over all their works.
Found the ř character (r with a caron) to spell Dvořák properly.
(Have since found that this displays properly in Safari and Internet Explorer, but not FireFox 0.8.)
- Mon 2004 Apr 26: Planned events: There will be no 5/6 June 2004 concert.
Too many people are not available.
(We don't have critical "mass".)
- Mon 2004 Apr 26: The
favicons were working in the wee hours, but not later in the day.
(But it's always worked on the home page.)
- Mon 2004 Apr 26: Noticed that the favicons
were not working except on the home page.
Made sure that all references to http://www.SitesbySteve.com/adhoc
contained the www string, and that seems to have fixed it.
(Later conclusion is that this should have no effect.)
- Mon 2004 Apr 26: Made a link on the rehearsals page
to a public-domain PDF of Palestrina's Lauda Sion motet.
- Fri 2004 Apr 23: Moved the Ad Hoc Singers pages and their MP3 files to the
Sites by Steve server.
Everything fits into one account here, unlike the contortions necessary with the Comcast.net home-page space.
- Thu 2004 Apr 22: Created the rehearsals page.
- Wed 2004 Apr 21: Added future schedule items to the main index page.
Also mentioned that the AD HOC pages will be moving soon to www.SitesbySteve.com/adhoc.
- Thu 2004 Apr 15: Replaced links for Gerald Finzi (1901-1956) on the
2004 January concert page
with direct Wikipedia links to
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Finzi instead of to
www.fact-index.com/g/ge/gerald_finzi.html.
(fact-index.com admits that its material is from Wikipedia.)
- Thu 2004 Mar 25: Added composer links to the 2004 Jan 25 concert page.
- Mon 2004 Mar 22: An additional link for (ex Ad-Hoc)
Beth Wojiski's pictures. (Dropped "Tidwell".)
- Mon 2004 Mar 22: An additional link for (ex Ad-Hoc)
Debbie Pieper Fulmer's Fan Fiction.
- Thu 2004 Mar 18: Added a South African reference to the list of
other Ad Hoc Singers groups.
- Wed 2004 Mar 17: Added durations and file sizes for the MP3 files on the 2004 Jan 25 concert page.
- Mon 2004 Mar 15: Added program texts and translations to the 2004 Jan 25 concert page.
- Sun 2004 Mar 14: Created 3 new web pages using the achivers,
alchivers, and jechivers subaccounts.
Comcast allows 26MB per account, and I needed 62MB to hold the MP3 files from the 2004 Jan 25 concert.
The MP3 files are split among those 3 accounts.
This is not a workable long-term arrangement,
and I do not have enough space here to keep adding Ad-Hoc music.
- Sun 2004 Mar 14: Started a page for the 2004 Jan 25 concert.
- Sat 2004 Mar 13: Google found many more links to groups named Ad Hoc Singers, enough to merit a
separate page listing them.
- Sat 2004 Mar 13: Google found Stephanie Stauffer's (ex Ad-Hoc) new home page
that I can add to the AD HOC past-members page.
Google also found the Arlington Forest United Methodist Church
web page for Louise Lee.
- Sat 2004 Mar 13: Changed the Ad Hoc Singers' favicon from the letters "AH"
to
the tiny words "AD HOC" .
- Fri 2004 Mar 12: Created an ah.ico file for the Ad Hoc Singers pages.
- Fri 2004 Mar 12: Modified the past_members.tail file (used to build the Ad Hoc Singers
past-members page) to include a link to return to the
Ad Hoc Singers home page (as other AD HOC pages do).
- Thu 2004 Mar 11: Dubbed the MiniDisc recording of the 2004 Jan 25 concert (Dona Nobis Pacem)
to a digital AIFF file.
- Thu 2004 Mar 11: Commentary on the 2004 Feb 04 rehearsal page.
- Sun 2004 Feb 08: Updated the main index page.
The Feb 8 Mass has moved from the future to the past.
Added a picture I took inside St Mary's this afternoon to the 2004 Feb 04 rehearsal page.
- Sat 2004 Feb 07: Added the 2004 Feb 04 rehearsal page
with MP3s of Josquin's Missa Pange Lingua.
- Fri 2004 Feb 06: Added links to the churches mentioned on the main index page.
- Thu 2004 Jan 29: Googled all the past_members
and added links to people who have web pages that I could find.
- Wed 2004 Jan 28: Added the past_members page, with links for people whose web pages I knew of.
