09 Feb 21 - 09:40 AM (#4092291) Subject: RE: Tune Req: Northwest Passage From: Jeri Thia may or may not be helpful. If you sing the chorus, then sing the do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do scale of the song. The verse ("Westward from the Davis Straight"), it starts on "la", two notes down from "do". |

13 Feb 21 - 09:04 AM (#4092934) Subject: RE: Tune Req: Northwest Passage From: GUEST Thank you friends. I did find the link to the sheetmusic for the chorus, but it's the verse I'm after. Jeri: I'll try to get it by ear - maybe listen to a baritone voice, which I find easier to follow (I have a deep baritone voice myself) than Stan Rogers', and some others who seem to sing more recitativo, making the tune harder to pin down. I try not to get frustrated with my hearing difficulty, but being a mostly 'by ear'musician, it's definitely a thing. Cheers |
