Ballady i romanse by Adam Mickiewicz (1798 - 1855).

This project is now complete. All audio files can be found on our catalog page here: https://librivox.org/ballady-i-romanse-by-adam-mickiewicz/
(do uzupełnienia) ( Piotr Nater)
  1. How to claim a part, and "how it all works" here To find a section to record, simply look at point 5. below at the sections. All the ones without names beside them are "up for grabs." Click "Post reply" at the top left of the screen and tell us which section you would like to read (include the section number from the left-most column in the reader list, please). Read points 6. to 8. below for what to do before, during and after your recording.
  2. New to recording? Please read our Newbie Guide to Recording!
  3. Is there a deadline? We ask that you submit your recorded sections within 1-2 months of placing your claim. Please note that to be fair to the readers who have completed their sections in a timely way, if you haven't submitted your recording(s) after two months, your sections will automatically be re-opened for other readers to claim, unless you post in this thread to request an extension. Extensions will be granted at the discretion of the Book Coordinator. If you cannot do your section, for whatever reason, just let me know and it'll go back to the pool. There's no shame in this; we're all volunteers and things happen.Please do not sign up for more sections than you can complete within the two month deadline.
  4. Where do I find the text? Source text (please only read from this text!): https://polona.pl/item/347558/5/

Since the last Polish group project is long finished I'm launching a new one, a very significant collection of poems by Adam Mickiewicz. It's full of celebrated pieces read in school, so I hope Polish speakers will be willing to contribute :) Each section is one poem.
The text I'm citing as a source is actually a larger collection that "Ballady i Romanse" forms a part of. Should I somehow mark this fact in the project title?

I will proof-listen.

Hm. I am in - just what I was looking for to get me back to recording. I see that there are two parts to this book - Ballady i romanse oraz Wiersze Rozne - perhaps these can form Part 1 and Part 2 if you want to indicate that there's more?

HI Nina. Welcome onboard. :) I don't necessarily want to record "Wiersze różne". I don't want to commit myself to a two-part project, at least not yet. It's just that the original text includes more than only "Ballady i romanse" and I'm wondering if there's a need for me to indicate that we're not recording the whole book.

Piotr,

I'd be happy to MC this for you.

Since its a Polish project, do you do the intro in English or Polish?

And what do you think about using the short poetry disclaimer? I like to see the full disclaimer for the first section, but after that if the poems are short, it can be appropriate to use the shorter poetry disclaimer. Keeps the disclaimer from being longer than some of the poems. :wink:

An example from another poetry project:
DURING recording:
• At the beginning of the recording, read the abbreviated "LibriVox disclaimer":
"[Poem title], by Myrtle Reed, read for LibriVox.org" by [your name] or some variation on that, adding date, location, your personal URL, etc., if you wish.
• Then read the poem.
• At the end, say: "End of poem. This recording is in the public domain." and leave five seconds of silence.

Thanks, MaryAnn. As stated in the first post, I'll be PLing this group project.
Thanks for the disclaimer. I'll have to translate it into Polish, although the intro will need to be altered as all the poems come from a single collection. What kind of a disclaimer do we use when reading such a collection? Also, most of the poems will last several minutes each.

Sorry, I missed the bit about you PLing.

As to the disclaimer, the one I posted is what Carolin us using for a single author collection. You could add the author thus:
DURING recording:
• At the beginning of the recording, read the abbreviated "LibriVox disclaimer":
"[Poem title], from Sonnets to a Lover by Myrtle Reed, read for LibriVox.org" by [your name] or some variation on that, adding date, location, your personal URL, etc., if you wish.
• Then read the poem.
• At the end, say: "End of poem. This recording is in the public domain." and leave five seconds of silence.
I personally prefer to have the book name in the intro when reading a whole bunch of poems out of a single book . . . but that's not a requirement.

Piotr,

I saw another poetry single author collection yesterday that included the book title as noted above - as evidence that we do have projects that follow both approaches.

Do you want me to keep the project here (on the launch pad) until you finalize the intros/outros in the first post? Next stop will be Readers Wanted Languages Other Than English . . .

I'll translate the intro/outro tomorrow Polish time (it's 10:19 PM right now). Please, let's stay here until then so as not confuse the potential readers with the untranslated intro/outro.

For some reason I'm unable to paste the text below into the 1st post. Can you please put it where the into/outro should be?

Na początku nagrania powiedz:
[Tytuł] ze zbioru "Ballady i romanse" Adama Mickiewicza, dla LibriVox.org czyta [Twój pseudomin/imię][możesz też dodać adres swojej strony albo bloga]

Tekst wiersza.

Na końcu powiedz:
Koniec wiersza [Tytuł]. To nagranie jest w domenie publicznej i pozostaw 5 sekund ciszy.

EDIT: OK, I've managed to put it there myself.
