Ottevanger's Omphaloskeptic Outpost

[karlhenning]

That's interesting, because the sounds I used are exactly the same as before! What must have happened is that, the first file being a MIDI file, your computer played it with its own MIDI settings, and they didn't match mine. But the second file was an mp3 of the MIDI file as it appears on my computer, so that it sounds the same for you as for me.  Must remember to do it the mp3 way in future!

Bingo! (All I had to add just yet.  Must get it together, and pop out to catch the bus.)

Look here, Karl:

Thanks, Johan! Got it!  Will read a bit later this morning.

[karlhenning]

Luke, I've e-mailed the refreshed score to Paul (perhaps you already have on your own?)

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

Thanks, Johan! Got it!  Will read a bit later this morning.

Excellent! But - no rush...

[karlhenning]

Excellent! But - no rush...

Yes; quiet space is needed for proper attention.  Now that I won't need this evening's train-ride for composition (today), I shall read your prose!

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

Luke, do you have a score of the Chant of Carnus? Listening to it as I write.

Later: the climax is terrific (after 10').

Yes, the best bit in the recording - the orchestra can forget any pretence of trying to play the notes and just let rip!  They also manage the second section quite well.... Other than that 

There's a score in my esnips folder somewhere, I think - feel free to search around for it. I can't give you a link right now, but I will later. There's a page missing from it, towards the end, I think (my absent-mindedness), but otherwise it's OK

[lukeottevanger]

Actually, I do have time (currently due piano pupil is ill) - but I've realised the score isn't up, as I thought it was. I will try remedy that for you. Unfortunately it comes in 4 parts, I can't remember why. Bear with me, this might take some time!

Patience is a cardinal virtue. 

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

Your help is needed, Luke. Perhaps you know this...

Do we have a score? 

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

Do we have a score? 

Do you have ears and a profound knowledge of the repertoire? 

If you could feed the clip into Sibelius so that a score came out, that would be something!

[Guido]

Have spent today writing up a lot of tiny fragments into sibelius - loads of little things I had forgotten about from ages ago. Reminiscing is nice!

[lukeottevanger]

Ooh, exciting! Can we expect to see the founding of a new composer's settlement soon?

[lukeottevanger]

The Chant of Carnus, score, in four parts for some reason, and with a missing page in part 4. Hope the links work:

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

Yes, everything worked! Thanks!

[karlhenning]

Houston, we have operability . . . .

[Guido]

Possibly. I'm working on two other things at the moment, that I actually like and think might come together if I put a lot of work into them.

I'll tell you what - I'll upload all the tiny little fragments that I wrote up today, along with the few complete pieces, which I think you've already seen. Please don't expect anything at all great (just lots of tiny sketches I found), and if you do choose to try them, I request that you try them in real life - they invariably sound much better on real cellos/pianos (the piano will generally require lots of pedal.) - since alot of this is just me bashing the piano, the sound of the instrument is rather important (and sibelius barely copes with a couple of pieces). Some things are silly, like the sq fragment, while other things I think are more interesting. Just a few curiosities from my child hood!

Is there any way you can export this to a pdf or an image or something? Please. Not all of us have Sibelius, you know.

(Or is there some sort of "Sibelius Reader" around, a counterpart to Finale Notebook??)

I have a Sibelius plugin installed in my Opera browser, called Scorch, which makes it possible to see and listen to scores made with Sibelius. In the case of Guido's files, though, I think I would have to take an account at the Sibelius site first and then upload them to make them visible, I think...

Edit: upload of scores is good for people who want to sell their music via Sibelius. I think Guido must convert the files for us non-Sibelians...
