There are those among us who can glance at a score, hear the music in their heads, and sit down and play it straight off. Alas there are also the Musically Challenged, like myself, who have to squint repeatedly at the score, muttering 'Every Good Boy Does Fine', and puzzle it out note by note. For these benighted folk it is helpful to hear the music "as she is wrote" and be able to play it over and over until it sinks in. So I got a music writing program called MuseScore (available as a free download at MuseScore.Org) and transcribed most of the tunes in the OTW archive.
Anyone who would be interested in getting these scores can email me and I will send them. Of course you will first have to download MuseScore. It is worth getting. Not only can you hear all those tunes played as the composer intended (and the harmonies in some of those Bourées are amazing),but you can create scores of your own or copy others you run across. My apologies to those who already know all this stuff. Jon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hurdygurdy" group.
