I was not happy wil the alteration noisecleaning brought so I didn't do anything. Hopefully, the background noise is not too disturbing.
I realise I had forgotten "_128kb" in the previous filename, so, I changed it to https://librivox.org/uploads/triciag/ccc18_noel_ez_128kb.mp3 in the MW and on the server.

Thank you, Ezwa. I find your original melodies and harmonies enchanting.
The Checker program mentions a warning for a very slight amount of background noise in this file, but my ear finds nothing particularly disturbing in the noise level. I'm happy to leave it as it is. This is PL OK!ezwa wrote: ↑December 9th, 2018, 12:32 amHere is yet another one in French:

Here's one more from me. Would someone please PL it for me?

* Link to the text (and music) source - https://archive.org/details/hymntunesandcaro00martuoft/page/136

* Composer's name, birth and death dates - George Currie Martin (1865-1937)
* Title of the carol - Many Hundred Years Ago (from a book published in 1908)
* Duration (runtime) of the file in mm:ss - 3:45
Tricia, Bernard Reynolds isn't in the drop-down menu for authors.
I can't find him on Wikipedia. There is a Bernard Reynolds there, but he wasn't born until 1915, and so he can't have been writing hymns in 1908!
I did find a link here which looks like it might be the right person, but unfortunately it only gives a birth date, not a death date.
Sorry I'm always choosing works by obscure authors. I swear I'm not doing it just to make your life difficult!

No worries. There will always be new authors to add.
He should be in the drop-down now, after a refresh.

I have listened to this recording and it is correct for the 5 verses included. But you have not included the chorus on page 138 which is supposed to be sung at the end of each verse. Was this deliberate or an oversight?commonsparrow3 wrote: ↑December 13th, 2018, 1:06 pm Here's one more from me. Would someone please PL it for me?

Hi, Everybody!
This is my tenth year in a row contributing to the holiday compilation. I might have run out of Christmas carols by now, so I recorded the one for the week after. "Auld Lang Syne" was in It's a Wonderful Life, so it totally counts as a Christmastime song. Hopefully. Anyway ...

I first found this carol in a different book, with only the words and no tune. When I hunted for a version with tune, I found that odd chorus on the next page. My original source had included only the five verses, and no chorus, so I felt that the chorus was dispensable. Especially when I attempted to sing it, and discovered that it doesn't match the verses at all. (Verses are in a minor key, 4/4 time, chorus is in a major key, 6/8 time, and words seem to be from some other carol entirely!) Anyway, yes, I deliberately decided to pretend I hadn't seen that chorus and ignore it.alanmapstone wrote: ↑December 14th, 2018, 8:26 pmI have listened to this recording and it is correct for the 5 verses included.

* Title of the carol - Many Hundred Years Ago
This may be more of an explanation than is really necessary, but I think I'll add it anyway, just to clarify what I've been allowing in the carol collections: Since I started BC-ing the carols, I've hashed out PD questions with my various MC's, and the consensus seems to be that the carol collection is a special case that is a bit of an exception to the usual "read every single word" rule. In past years' collections, we have dealt with the PD issue by excluding anything that is most likely to be not-PD. That is, we haven't allowed the use of carols that were not published for the first time until after 1922, or the use of recent verses which were added to older carols after that date. But we have allowed singers to use as many or as few of the older PD verses as they please, to choose between various available PD melodies, to create their own melodies for lyrics for which no melody was published, and to compose their own original accompaniment. That's a fairly free range of options. (That's why I felt okay with omitting that chorus, with allowing several singers to omit verses, or others to make up their own melodies.)
But, Tricia, as MC, I'd be happy to hear what you think. I'm going by what happened in other years with other MC's, and I may have misinterpreted the amount of leeway I ought to be allowing in carols.

I was planning to arrange the carols in alphabetical order, for the most part, but I agree that "Auld Lang Syne" really ought to come at the end of the collection, as a suitable conclusion, so that's where I shall put it!
Kate Dog (or is it Cake Dog?) will unfortunately not have a credit in the MW, but give your duet partner a dog biscuit and a pat on the head for a spirited and musical bark!

UPDATE ON DEADLINE DATE:
The first post for this project lists Sunday December 16th as the deadline for contributions. I will be working all day on Sunday and until mid afternoon Monday. So I won't close the collection until I get home from work on Monday. That'll be about 4 pm New York, US, time. I leave it to everybody to do the math and figure out what time that is in your own time zone.
Tricia, I'll send you the updated summary at that time. (I've contacted Twinkle to let her know, so she knows she has an extra day to send the Silent Night chorus to me.)

Thanks for the compliments! My dog's name is Kate, and I think this is her second contribution on here. She barked on my recording in ... Christmas 2015? This time, she not only barked, she also "played" the squeaky ball in the first half of the song. Okay, studio magic let her squeak in rhythm.
Hooray, I'll finally get the last track! Thank you!
I'm off to upload my contribution to the "Silent Night" choir ...
Cheers,
Ryan
