Thread Name: O, mirk, mirk is this midnight hour (Lord Gregory)
Subject: RE: O, mirk, mirk is this midnight hour
I'm interested in tunes, so I've made a MIDI of Lord Gregory as it appears on Contemplator's site. If you play or sing and don't know the Contemplator, I suggest you check it out. I'll put a link in.
The link just above has notes for only part of the song. (It's a different tune, but not real different.) I guess they want me to pay $9.99 for a few measures.
I have sent the MIDI for the melody to Joe, after removing some fiddlesque ornaments. It's high and would take a true soprano or tenor to sing it. However, it's in a good key for instruments, involving Am, E and Dm with a possible C for a little relief from sorrow. I'm sending the MIDI to Joe for posting, and it should appear here in the fulness of time.
Check back.
