He only has two lines! This has to be the easiest recording I've ever done!

Thank you, Ransom! Would you perhaps PM timberwolfmage about the music for Will o' the Wisp?

And the Will-o-the-wisp.

There are two recordings of the song, one right after the other. I included both because neither is great, and you will have a better chance of finding something usable this way.

Sounds awesome from where I sit, Ransom!

Will talk to ahab about getting a version recorded at some point soon. Is Mephisto still up in the air at this point?

Yes, thank you, Ransom. Will listen shortly. - I'm afraid ahab is out again - haven't heard from him in ages despite various contact attempts.

Well, I have the most reliable contact ability possible with ahab, as he is my father.

So I will talk to him and see about getting him to record the song.

Really! I didn't know that. And I made a mistake when I said that - I was thinking of Le Marteau, not of ahab. ahab was indeed just waiting for the song to record his last section. Please send my best wishes to him.

Hi there - is the part 12 still available? I'd really like to do it if it is...
Happy new year and all the best,
Jenny

timberwolfmage: Thanks for the ping.

All: Thanks for your patience -- I am going to try to do scene 21 (and finish my part) next weekend. I was just waiting to see how the song with "alternating singing" would be handled. Based on Ransom's recording of WOTW, I'm assuming that I should just record the entire song, and timberwolfmage will edit the three parts together accordingly. I'll also follow WOTW's lead with respect to the key to sing in -- and whoever does Mephisto will have to follow the two of us . . .

Gesine, thanks so much for your persistence in managing this project, and good luck with the rest!

Cheers,
Ahab

That all sounds excellent, thanks so much.

I'm afraid I'm not doing very well with this project... I should follow up more, but it's hard to get all the parts in. The singing doesn't help as an added complication... but I'll be so excited to hear the two of you together.

Thank you!

Hi Jenny, and Happy New Year! Section 12 with its various parts is all yours, thank you.

Please let me know under which name or pseudonym you'd like to appear in the LibriVox catalogue! We can also link to a personal website/blog.

Thanks! I'll get it done soon as I can,
All the best,

I realized that I should probably mention that, although I made up the peasants song (II), I used the traditional Gregorian settings for the Chorus (XX). It is, as far as I know, in the PD (I was able to find a copy of the music free online, and boy is it OLD), but if you think it's a problem, let me know and I'll make something up and rerecord.
