[DONE]: MP3 music of 2 songs

Post by **TriciaG** » November 14th, 2018, 5:34 pm

I have two hymns I need to sing in the next chapter of my solo. I've found the scores online, but I can't find any audio online, and I don't sight read that well! I need a musical sample.

Would someone be willing to turn these tunes into MP3s for me? Just the melody line (which is usually the soprano line) is all I need. I've found PDFs, but the hymn pages also have a midi file that could be converted, if I knew how to do that.

PDF tune 1: https://hymnary.org/media/fetch/195565
Hymn 1 page: https://hymnary.org/text/the_day_of_rest_once_more_comes_round

PDF tune 2: https://hymnary.org/media/fetch/109437
Hymn 2 page: https://hymnary.org/text/father_in_thy_mysterious_presence_kneeli
Or a PDF of another tune for the same song: https://www.ccel.org/cceh/0010/001053a.pdf

I'm an alto, so I'll have to transpose any high and potentially screechy tunes, but I can to that myself.

Please upload to my uploader folder. Call it whatever you want.
Thanks in advance!

I could make an mp3 for you, Tricia. Is it just a basic piano playing the melody that you need, just so you know how it goes to sing it? Or do you need a regular accompaniment? And how high would be too high -- and potentially screechy?

I found a MIDI file (repeats twice)

Hi back at ya, David! Looks like you have solved Tricia's problem, so no need for me to record at all. (Let us all now together press the "easy button"!)

Yay! If you still want, Tricia, I would be willing to record myself singing these tomorrow. Sometimes I struggle with MIDIs, myself, because it's not always clear which syllable belongs to which note. A word of warning, though: my voice is a bit out of sorts at the moment. Actually, that might work, because it probably turns me from soprano to alto!

Thank you, David - The MP3 will work perfectly. And I must have searched YouTube for the wrong search term.

And thank you Maria and Devorah for jumping in with offers. Devorah - I'm good with the midi. I can usually get the timing and wording OK; it's the note intervals that stymie me. ("How does that natural in the 6th measure sound? I can't get it!")
