Dear fellow members of all these wonderful music related groups I enjoy to be a member of
For about a year I havent been able to add to my series of free downloadable music files in .PDF-format. I hope to be up and running in that matter soon into 2006. At least my eyesight is back again. And the computer problems hopefully will find a solution. We are hastily approaching Christmas, and many ensembles want to present some exotic music related to this great feast of the church. I have issued a series of Danish carols and hymns, about 10 of them related to Christmas. The format is 9 sets of compatible playing scores allowing for any ensemble type from the most oddly composed quartet to the full symphony orchestra. There are no parts specifically for the harp, but it may play from the organ part. There are no parts for timpani or non-tuned percussion. However any sort of tuned percussion will be able to find relevant parts. There are 3 how-to texts: A presentation of the nine playing score types A presentation of programme notes A suggestion how to combine the scores into larger ensembles like various sizes of orchestras or bands Recorder ensembles, Flute choirs, any clarinet quartet permutation, string quartets, trombone/tuba/horn/mixed brass quartets, saxophones, guitars, keyboards, double reeds, plus, plus ad infinitum will find themselves served musicwise. All hymns and carols are specifically Danish (aside from a couple of steals from Norway). I havent seen it as my task to present the great, shared hymnbook of Europe, as it is well documented in so many other contexts. The span in time goes from around 1550 to late Romanticism. The older samples often present interesting rhythms and tonalities. Even the Danish Romanticism varies quite a bit from its Anglo-Saxon equivalent. You will find the hymn project here under the title of Danske salmer: http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/YorkMasterBBb2/files/ However I suggest, that you join my project via the link presented in my extended signature. I will then invite you to be members of all of my download groups. You will find lots of stuff relevant in church contexts as well as offering great opportunities to present various sections of your ensembles. I wish you all a merry Christmas musicwise and in every other aspect of life! All the best Klaus Or with my extended signature: My download homepage has a link for the index of all my uploaded music files. You can download them for free, when I have received your reply to my Welcome-mail. Players already approved for the group in question of course have direct access.
