Subject: RE: Lyr Add: New Christmas Song: Singin' w/ Big Choir From: Genie Date: 15 Dec 02 - 09:29 PM Sorry about that "guest" thing. I forgot I wasn't logged in. There should be a MIDI in the Mudcat MIDIs soon. This song is really more soft rock or rockabilly than "folk," at least the way I do it. But it's all in the arrangement. Genie |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: New Christmas Song: Singin' w/ Big Choir From: GUEST,Jeanene Date: 19 Dec 02 - 12:42 AM The MIDI may be a while in getting posted. It seems Max has some little thing on his mind that's displaced most thoughts of technical matters, at least for the next couple of weeks (most understandably). If I can figure out how to do the ABC thing, I'll try to post a simple ABC soon (not nearly as good a representation of the song as the MIDI is, complete with trumpet and banjo back-up), but it'll give the basic tune. Meanwhile a MIDI is available via email on request. J |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: New Christmas Song: Singin' w/ Big Choir From: Genie Date: 22 Dec 02 - 03:47 PM One other correction. (Sorry, I'm just learning ABC.) In the chorus, the melody line "We gonna set the night on fire, In the" | zAAAA2B2| C2G2E2EG | should be "We gonna set the night on fire, In the" | zAAAA2B2| c2G2E2EG | That note sequence needs to be corrected in the ABC file I posted, too.

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: New Christmas Song: Singin' w/ Big Choir From: Genie Date: 25 Dec 02 - 04:19 AM Yeah, Joe, that's right. That ABC file is the basic melody. The MIDI which I sent you and Leo has the back up trumpet, banjo, and soprano parts, as well. At some point I hope that one will appear in the Mudcat MIDI pages, but there's no rush, since Christmas is upon us for this year. Genie |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Singin' with the Big Choir (R. J. Pratt) From: Genie Date: 23 May 19 - 02:06 PM Thanks, Leeneia. I’ve had a number of requests for the sheet music or at least the lyrics and chords to this song and it’s been done with a couple of choirs. Until I can recreate the shed music, I’m directing people to this thread. |
