The International Sheet Music Library Project (IMSLP) is by no means the first or only attempt to gather together public domain sheet music of a large variety of composers whose works arguably represent the foundation of Western art music, or classical music. It only happened to be one of the best organised technically, and was rapidly becoming one ( Read more... )

News: not much. Gloriana start rehearsing again on Monday, for which I've revivified my critical edition of the Earthquake mass and prepared a performing version. Not enough time and probably the odd mistake, but that's no problem. Also did a tidy-up on Andrew R's version of the piece by Clare Maclean ( Read more... )

I don't believe it... despite only completing two of the tasks so far, I've started on a way larger project that can in no way be completed any time soon...

Somebody kill me... put me out of my (eventual) misery...

Well, I got one of those things done over the weekend... Hooray for sloth.

On Saturday, we met with the usual suspects (various family, friends, and godparents) for dragon_winikoff's 2nd birthday picnic on the State Library lawn, followed by joining in the Walk against Global Warming from the Town Hall down to Birrarung Marr, where various other friends were ( Read more... )

What news? Not terribly much: I find that I've been too tired after the punishing end of September/start of October, and have taken most of the remainder of October to recover.

It looks good on the page, although not terribly adventurous - I might change my mind once I have time to give it a proper read-through :) In other words, the newly ( Read more... )

Over a week ago, I had written:

As for the other gig, it seems the usual RMIT apathy jinx has struck... so far have had only ONE e-mail offer from the MonMUCS community to help out with the singing...
It turns out that person can't do the gig now, and only discovered so this morning. Fortunately I have had a few other people jump on board since ( Read more... )

As many of you know, I do a lot of music editing: I not only enjoy it, but I know it's useful to many other people around the world through websites like the Choral Public Domain Library. The principal e-mail address listed on CPDL is my netscape address, which results in me getting a variety of comments, questions, and suggestions from all over ( Read more... )
