~[MUSIC]J.S. Bach, Volume 2 by A. Schweitzer d1965-mtf

Hi, Mozart sir. My friend would like to know if he can change the key of the p. 28 excerpt, which is written for baritone, and he is tenor? And he should save in mp3, I think?

Thanks.

The issue with changing the key is that the computerized piano file that goes with it is in the key shown on page 28... I don't know if he could go down an octave, or up, or however that works... (sorry, I'm not a singer, so I don't know these things!)
Yes, save in Mp3, please, if possible.

So for Section 10, I notice there's no reference to p.59 in the MW, but in the text on page 59 there are some musical excerpts. Was it an error, or deliberate to miss these out?
I can add them if you would like me to do those as well.

In the meantime, here is section 10:

Any issues, let me know.

Wonderful, thanks Jake! I'll start to advertise for a DPL.

[Mozartjr]

Great! Wow, so there wasn't even that much music left in the book. Not nearly as much as I expected, in fact.

Ok, so then it looks to me as if we are ready to go to Readers Wanted!

Devorah,
Jake finished the Music files for section 10. How should I put those into the MW?
I'll post this in listeners wanted as well.

I suggested he might accompany himself on piano in same key?

Mozart (and Jake too), if you look at (and/or listen to) section 6 in the MW, you can see how I did the music for that chapter. I put all the excerpts into the same file in the proper order. I think that will be the easiest way for the editor. That way, they only have two or three files to juggle instead of 20. It also makes managing the MW easier, because there is only 1 file to link. Does all of that make sense?

As to the question of changing the key (although this questing wasn't directed to me), I would say that this is essentially the same thing as changing the words of the text, which we don't allow. Bach chose that key for a reason, so we should honor that.

[mightyfelix]

I have understood belatedly that the reader of section 4 was to have sung the few choral lines included in the text (with a male voice!) Did not do. Obvious reasons.

I have reached out to a friend who may be able to record them, if Mozart sir can insert them later. That way you can use my recording of the chapter.

What say you?

Czandra the czpeedy

No, I'm sorry for this misunderstanding. The reader does not need to sing. That's why there is a separate section in the MW for the singer.

(I'm also sorry for my absence over the last couple of days. I didn't realize that there were questions piling up, and I wish I'd been available to help clear it up earlier.)

That must have been my error, sorry about that. Yes, we'll need those.

Ok, yes, that makes sense about the files... maybe Jake could do that and re-upload it for the editor.

Ok, that's fine with the changing keys... I didn't think of that. I suppose next time something like this comes up I'll know what to do.

Devorah commented that we shouldn't change the key because Bach put it into a different key on purpose... So either he will have to make do, or we simply look for a different singer. If he still wants to sing for this project, though, there are some other parts for male voice that he could probably sing...
Sorry about all of this...hopefully he will be alright with it all.

Jake,
I added in page 59 on the MW. If you could do those as well and put all the files for section 10 into one file in order, with a few seconds in between each, I think that that would be best for the editor and MW.
Thanks,
Mozartjr

[jakemalizia]

That all makes sense to me. I'll put it into one big file in the coming days, and including the p. 59 excerpts.

[jakemalizia]

Here is the whole of Section 10 (with p.59 now as well)

I've put a 3 second gap between each excerpt.

[UPRG11W]

I would like to DPL for this project if it is still open. If there is any special preknowledge required for music or the composer, please let me know. I am a total layman.

Regards,
Jessie

Here's Section 12
