Sorry, I can't help with sheet music unless some other mudcatter can transcribe from mp3 |

I work out MIDI's to tunes rather often, so let me explain something. That song would be a nightmare to write down. It alternates long, drawn-out notes with mad ornaments involving idiosyncratic timing. The hardest part of noting a song is getting the timing. When the timing involves things like dots, 32nd notes, triplets, fourthlets and fifthlets -- well, 'that way madness lies.' Perhaps someone else can notate the song, but I'm afraid it's unlikely. |
