melody for to cure a weakling child on richard d james
album.
the letters are notes, and the dashes are time units you
would just tap your foot to say to keep rhythm but don't
contain notes.

I already posted this under the "test" thread but now people
will know what it is from the title of this thread, or yarn
or what have you. I played the album while trying to find
the right notes and I'm pretty sure I found them. I'm not
good at going by ear, so I had to play bit by bit and play 1
key at a time to see if it resonated properly with the
melody's keys. It used to be one of my least favorite songs
on the RDJ album but it has an after taste after awhile.

I'll give it a single bump. The first, second and third line
I'm almost positive are correct. The 4th might be a little
bit wrong but it's mostly right at least. This polyphony
sounds so great together. The second line has both notes and
voices going along with the notes (my - feet - my - arms -
and - my - ears - - - and - - - your - beat)

also notice:
the first line just sort of augments the second line.

the notes use 7 white keys in a row cdefgab, respectively.
the first and second line use
c efg
the 3rd line includes a (and b maybe i couldn't really
tell)
and the 4th line includes d.

So, only when all these lines act together does the entire
row of 7 notes get used simultaneously... it's great.

if i understood letters and such your work would be greatly
appriecated. i understand notation to the point where i can
program it into software.
so, if you were to make that into notation, i would be the
happiest boy this christmas!

it really doesn't seem too complicated... if I had four or
five arms I'd play it on piano...



 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2001-12-20 04:20 [#00062692]



actually, I guess you could just play it as cords...
obviously... hmmm, I'm gonna give that a go I think...

sweetness... it comes out in perfect columns in notepad...
thanks man...

I'll explain it further or try anyway. First do you own a
keyboard so that I can have an easy visual for you to refer
to (then I can say "push the second white key yada yada" and
it would make more sense).
Also in your software that you use, are you able to enter
musical notes in it? like can you enter a note "c" or a note
"a"? If that's the case it should be pretty easy to explain.
I can't read musical notes, like those little black notes on
paper, but can refer to them as "b" and "a" and whatnot.

i dont own a key board. i use the notation part of cool
edit pro. thats why the letters mean nothing to me! its
all notation sadly!

so you actually have to compose with those little black
notes? Well I read about notation in "the encyclopedia of
music" but was a bit confused by the way it was written.
g
f--------
e
d--------
c
b--------
a
g--------
f
e--------
d

b
a--------
g
f--------
e
d--------
c
b--------
a
g--------
f

there's 5 lines on top of another 5 lines in notation (I
think) and this is what the picture said in this book
anyway. between the groups of 5 is "middle c", I don't think
this will help but all well.
