Re: Locations of PDFs
Many thanks to you both. If I don't upload .mxl versions it is because I find, from experience, that editing a downloaded .mxl file usually takes longer than just making a new copy. These are the main problems I have experienced: 1) the indisciminate way in which the lyrics of the various voices are...

Locations of PDFs
Hello.
I want to remove the links to my own website for all my submitted works, upload the PDFs to the cpdl server and substitute local cpdl links on the pages.
Before I screw things up by experimenting, please could you let me know the procedure? Many thanks.

Re: Kalinka
I've done a version for SATB & Piano. Please go to http://dovetonmusic.com/Cat_Folk_Songs.html where you can view a sample. If you like it you can e-mail me your order. Apologies for the shameless self-promotion!

Re: Choice of Clefs and Keys
I note with regret that distinguished contributors sometimes post editions of wonderful and interesting music using the wrong clef for the altos and in unperformable and/or unlikely keys. I presume the music posted here is meant to be sung and listened to, not just looked at, so why not make life as...

Re: Beaming of notes
Well, that just shows how diverse opinions can be, even amongst educated musicians. I have long disliked this norm which is being increasingly forced upon us, namely what Stephen and vaarky are advocating. Personally, I find it far clearer to have beaming follow the text underlay, so long as beams a...

Re: Choice of Clefs and Keys
We really should get back 'on topic', but you are quite right, Dave, Fellowes was pretty cavalier when it came to Dec and Can etc. etc.. However, I am at this moment holding TCM Vol 2 in my hand (it weighs a ton!), and, if you look carefully, it is possible to discern Byrd's intentions in spite of t...

Re: Choice of Clefs and Keys
My point was really a general one, but I do believe the Byrd piece I cite is most likely to be sung SATB, untransposed, as I find it unlikely that choirs are going to choose to sing pieces in which the altos have nothing to do. The Cantus Secundus is perfect for a counter-tenor and, in any case, an ...

Choice of Clefs and Keys
Given that most users probably don't want to have to edit the scores they download (even if they have the software), might I suggest contributors use the normal treble clef for Alto parts? An example of an impractical choice (chosen at random from very many) is to be found in Byrd's 4-voice 'This sw...

Authorship of 'Peccantem me quotidie'
Lassus did not write the text 'Peccantem me quotidie' as is stated on his cpdl page and others. It is part of Matins of the Dead (see note by David Fraser at the end of his edition of Byrd's setting).

Hello, Forgedglory. Yes, I did this for my choir last summer and haven't got round to posting it yet. I'll try to get round to it this week, but if it doesn't appear on cpdl, go direct to http://www.doveton-music.de/CatFree.htm SATB+Piano is a great medium and worth investigating by people who have ...

Latin pronunciation is indeed a can of worms! On the first, original point, given that Mozart was a German-speaker, it would seem to make sense to use a German pronunciation of Latin, which is what most German-speaking singers still do. On the specific word 'exaudi', Germans would spot that the word...

Hello again
This is my 2nd attempt at creating an account (some gremlin deleted me almost as soon as I had greeted you all a few days ago) so I am hoping I really have arrived this time. I am already a contributor to cpdl as well as being a singer, arranger and choral director. My main musical interests are Eng...
