Thank you, Angela! I had never heard the first one, and it was lovely, with your music beautifully suited to the poem. And the second one, while familiar, was sung to a different melody than I've heard before, a refreshing surprise! Both are PL OK!BookAngel7 wrote:Just for that, I'll give you a second and a third!

Thank you, Matt! Very nice rendition of this sweet old favorite! Just one minor fix needed, as the volume is a bit too high at 93 db. It needs to be between 86-92 db for LV. If you could de-amplify a bit and upload it again, it'll be good to go!VfkaBT wrote:https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelin ... _128kb.mp3

With two days to spare, that just might be a record for me! This is technically "O Little Town of Bethlehem," with the "St. Louis" melody. I had recently learned (or maybe re-learned, but I don't remember ) that many people also sing the "Forest Green" melody for this song, so I added a bit of that melody in the instrumental between verses--and credited the author as well. I recorded the first verse, second verse, and first verse again.

My source for the lyrics, the "St. Louis" melody, and the "Forest Green" melody is https://www.hymnsandcarolsofchristmas.c ... hlehem.htm.
The lyrics are in English.
Words: Bishop Phillips Brooks (1835-1893)
Music: "St. Louis" (1868) by Lewis Henry Redner (1831-1908)
Additional Music: "Forest Green" (1906) by Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958)
"O Little Town of Bethlehem"
3:59
I hope the recording is good enough. Cheers, everybody! Is the 16th too early for greeting Merry Christmas? Happy fourth/fifth night of Hanukkah! Merry Christmas!

Thanks, Maria! That's the tune I originally learned for "While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks", so I was quite surprised to find out it was a fairly uncommon variant. I had just about given up on finding a definitively PD source, but thankfully hymnary.org came to the rescue!commonsparrow3 wrote:Thank you, Angela!

I have finally had a chance to pick a song I'd like to contribute-- it'll be either O Come All Ye Faithful or O Christmas Tree (perhaps the German version if I am brave). and perhaps both if I have the time tomorrow!

Thank you, Ryan! Wonderful as always, and PD OK! I like the bits of the other tune woven into the accompaniment, they work well!DeRamos wrote:With two days to spare, that just might be a record for me!

Images of actual songbooks with publication dates right on them are usually preferred, because not all websites are reliable about PD stuff. But hymnary is great, because they usually show the original page scans, identify dates and sources, and clearly indicate what is PD. I've used them often to track down obscure authors and composers, and titles of hymn and carol books. I should add them to the list of sources in the first post if I do this again next year.BookAngel7 wrote:Thanks, Maria!

No need for a great rush, Amelia. The deadline for this project is going to be very flexible, due to my work schedule. In fact, I am thinking I probably won't be able to get it ready for cataloging until Wednesday morning at the soonest, as I'm going to be working from 8 am to 11 pm on Tuesday. (Two different jobs, but no downtime in between them). So anything that comes in on Tuesday will be fine.plaidsicle wrote:I have finally had a chance to pick a song I'd like to contribute-- it'll be either O Come All Ye Faithful or O Christmas Tree (perhaps the German version if I am brave). and perhaps both if I have the time tomorrow!
(Oh, be brave and tackle the German! This is a multilingual carol collection, after all!)

Hello, Maria! Your recording is PL OK (apart from the filename, the part that should end with just _128kb, but I can change that before cataloguing)commonsparrow3 wrote:Would someone please PL my contribution?

I have added Alfred Hayes into the database.
Would you like me to pre-claim the cd-cover for this project in your name?
