11 Nov 02 - 08:29 PM (#823802) Subject: Lyr Add: See There, High in the Sky From: Haruo Some weeks ago I noticed that in the Esperanto hymnal Adoru there was a song set to the tune "Over the Rainbow" from The Wizard of Oz. Last night I got around to paraphrasing it into singable English. (In my online hymnal: Esperanto original and English version.) See There, High in the Sky
Original text by Fr. Albrecht Kronenberger English paraphrase by Ros' Haruo Tune by Harold Arlen There is supposed to be a MIDI of this tune in the Digitrad, but I can't get it to open; don't find it in Mudcat MIDIs. The MIDI I've got in my hymnal may be just a smidgen slower than one might wish. Haruo |

However, I am lost. (this will not be the first time)
What is this about???? I know it is music, and the OZ movie, is it supposed to connect to another thread...or perhaps - PM Personal Mail you sent to another?
Sincerely, |

Hope that clarifies things for you. |

And no, Genie, as far as I can tell it's just three straight stanzas to the initial part of the tune, the part whose text was Somewhere, over the rainbow, Way up high, There's a land that I heard of Once in a lullabye. in the musical (at least according to the DigiTrad). The MIDI in my online hymnal (links in first post) will illustrate what I mean if my words are unclear. Haruo |
