Re: "All Rights Reserved" edition hosted on CPDL
We should definitely ask her before changing the tag. Ok, I have just sent her an email to ask. I could not find an existing category or tag for CC-BY-NC-SA or other CC flavors of license. There are other flavours like CC-BY-SA or even CC-BY-NC-ND, and there is even a template to refer thereto {{Co...

Re: "All Rights Reserved" edition hosted on CPDL
While not attempting to speak for the composer, I do point out here relevant links: why-free page. download-music page. Oh, thanks for looking this up, I had not seen these notices. It might be a good idea to synchronize the copyright notices (CPDL already has a tag for CC-BY-NC-SA, I think). As I ...

"All Rights Reserved" edition hosted on CPDL
Dear CPDL admins, just noticed that the editions by L.D. Veitch, which are hosted on CPDL, bear the notice "All Rights Reserved". This means that these editions may neither be freely copied nor may they freely be used for public performances. Here is an example (see the notice at the botto...

Re: Choice of Clefs and Keys
I'm always surprised to hear that unusual clefs are a problem for some singers ; aren't the intervals the same, whatever the clef ? The problem, of course, is different for instrument players who have to deal with fingerings. When the piece is indeed sung a capella, I fully agree with anaigeon that...

Re: Copyright status
According to http://www.steering.org/162/st16242.pdf , the poem "The Christian's Good Night" is by Sarah Doudney, who died in 1926. According to your searches, the folks at CyberHymnal have found out that it was published during her lifetime, so the text is in the public domain in almost a...

Re: Just Intonation
Apparently, the audio samples require Quicktime, which is only available for MacOS X and Windows.
On Linux, you should be able to play the examples with mplayer, which is said to support the Quicktime format.

Just Intonation
Dear all, as the thread on "Singing and Intonation" has somewhat drifted into a specialist discussion, I have started a new topic to bring attention to an excellent introduction to intonation for nonspecialists by Ross W. Duffin: http://mto.societymusictheory.org/issues/mto.06.12.3/mto.06....

Re: Singing and Intonation
Dear Philip, thanks for your informed comment! Fretted instruments like the lute and viol were not necessarily tied to equal temperament Right. Even though Galilei (a leading figure from the Florentine Camerata) advocated equal temperament on the lute, some modern lutanists achieve excellent results...

Re: Singing and Intonation
the exception of a few experimental pieces by figures such as Gesualdo, Lassus, Byrd, etc aside Concerning "chromatic" music, I have always believed that the term "chromatics" itself referred to the colorful effect of alternating minor semitones (e.g. F to F#) and major semitone...

Re: Create a new site for living composers
My problem is with a growing number of works from composers whose work is either amateurish or stylistically representative of popular music from the last 40 years. For example, when I run a multi-category search for sacred music in the English language(limiting results to 2,000), 57 of those resul...

Re: Create a new site for living composers
If I understand "thebradish" right, his problem is a too high noise/content response for his queries on CPDL. Concerning this problem of information retrieval, I do not see how banning all "modern music" helps: you already can easily filter this out by category. BTW: the problem ...

Why is "incomplete text underlay" an error?
Dear all, just noticed that Rob has marked the edition http://www2.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/Ave_maris_stella_III_%28Anonymous%29 as erronous due to "incomplete text underlay", even though the editor has taken great pains to make the edition as close to the source as possible, and at the sam...

Re: Female voices singing SAB arrangements
In general, it does not produce a good result when the bottom voice is sung an octave higher. The technical reason for this is the Problem of the Fourth : a fourth between the bottom voice and an upper voice needs to be treated as a dissonance, while it is a consononace between the upper voices. You...

Re: HELP requested, AveWiki www.avemariasongs.org/wiki/
I have a number of 13th-14th century Ave Maria manuscripts that I'd love to get 'translated' into modern music notation. While manuscripts can be tricky, the introduction to printed white mensural notation by Ross W. Duffin is a very useful resource. See the "Notation Manual" under "...

Re: massive works - recommendations
When I was at school we did a concert every couple of years involving the choirs of all the secondary schools in the area. The one that's really stuck in my mind was Rossini Petite Messe Solennelle. I remember having sung the piece several years ago and must admit that I consider it an ugly and dis...
