If you want to attract other humans with a harpsichord, ditch the Church durges and reach instead for an operatic form. They're just more dynamic. Benefits: * recitative form allows you to freely speak-sing to get through a lot of content for your listeners. It's like carbo-loading but for syllable count. And the harpsichord has been the instrument of choice for recitatives for at least a few hundred years. * aria form generally allows you to linger in the melodies much longer than with hymns. And since the recitative delivers most of the substantial text, the aria doesn't have to cycle back through myriad boring verses like hymns. They tend to be more expressive on the whole, and the most popular ones are singable even by a group of troglodytes * because operas can include Church or Church-like scenes, you get the Church fare as a subset if you still want it. * it's not too difficult to figure out the basic recitative chord patterns to improvise a recitative-- and perhaps even an aria-- based on your audience or situation. For any out there having trouble in the dating department, that last part is key (heh). Honestly, I'm surprised recitativo-aria isn't a genre on pornhub. Edit: clarification
