I have some writing to work on now, so I'll log off for now.

Good night!

Elmore and/or Jose, are there any choral sheet music stores in NYC that mght have a fairly recent, though apparently OOP, orchestral packet to go with a choral octavo by Hal Hopson based on Lord of the Dance? It was originally published by Gray in 1996, but when they went belly up the choral octavo got transferred to Alfred while the accompanying orchestral parts, well, went nowhere. I have the choral parts, I just want the orchestral parts and I really don't want to have to notate them all myself from the conductor's score. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Went to see Obama tonight. It really iritates me when a politician says he didn't vote for something when he didn't vote against it either.

Anyway, I'm really burned out on all the politics, but I was at the office and he was speaking down the hall, so I went. I can't wait for the next 17 days to be over. Then they will all leave us. I will be able to let commercials run without hitting mute, I will be able to get the mail without almost all if it being political flyers. I will be able to answer the phone again, without it being the 6th call from Obama's phone bank that day....It's been about a year and a half since they started bugging us....peace will come on January 4...... I can't wait.

Is Carl Fischer in the East Village by Cooper Union still open? I haven't been down there in over ten years. I usually go to sheetmusicplus.com when I'm looking for something but even they aren't always as helpful as I'd like.

Good Evening!

WOW!

The Beethoven, the Schumann, the Ravel(!), and the Balakirev pieces were played beautifully tonight by Yefim Bronfman. I thoroughly enjoyed the recital. Oh, and the Encores - some Schumann and the last movement of the Prokofiev Seventh Piano Sonata were wonderful too.

I really could go on and on, piece by piece, movement by movement, note by note... Instead, I just want to keep enjoying what I heard tonight, rather than analyzing it.

I doubt at that age I could have resisted those smooth halls. They didn't do any damage to the school.

Maybe Elementary schools should post a sign:

And, as an added bonus, it turned out Mr. Bronfman was doing a CD signing after his recital. And I guess having a CD signing after a Monday night concert on a cold December night helped to "control" the crowd. -I think even the Carnegie Hall staff were sort of surprised that there weren't more people waiting in line up in the Rose Museum.

And the Carnegie Hall Shop is in the middle of their pre-Christmas sale, so the new-ish double-CD set of Mr. Bronfman was only $20. Tax included

Edi...

Thank you for the DVD it was wonderful!! I got all teary when OzDerek came on screen, how wonderful of you to include him!

The Vixter was so proud that her phone call made it to the DVD

What's all this talk about a hidden track?

Many many things one would never think of can be used as weapons and can do great damage.

True:

Girl's High Heel Shoes
Drum Majorette Batons
Trumpets
Fountain Pen (fatal if properly jabbed into an eye)
Belts with buckles
Hearty Hair Ribbons (make a nice garrote)

Shall we ban them all from the schools?

Is a Little Leaguer prohibited from storing his bat in his Middle School locker?

I was also pleasantly surprised at how well-behaved tonight's audience was. No cell phones went off - well, not until the encores started. Although, the amount of "Roses of Picardy" perfume wafting through the air was quite stifling.

And I'm still amazed at how "uneducated" some audience members can be at times. The group of "ladies who lunch" who sat behind me were quite "entertaining" before the recital as they scrutinized the program for tonight. They just could not understand why he would put the "worst" music at the end of the recital. Worst music?!?!?! They had issues with an opera that had attended last week: "There were too many countertenors on stage."

Even in the winter months he can still be seen, on occasion, working in his yard sans shirt. It's like having Colt Studios right across the street.

ROTFLMAO!!!!

Carl Fischer closed a couple of years ago, a couple of months after Carl Fischer Publishing was incorporated into Boosey & Hawkes. -Which is now part of the Hal Leonard family. -It's amazing how many music publishers have folded over the past couple of years. Basically, right now, there's only two or three music publishers who control the catalogs of a lot of smaller companies.

In any case, there's no real choral music store in NYC right now. Most people use sheetmusicplus.com or Pepper.

This zero tolerance bit has gotten ridiculous. I wonder if the Administrators at that elementary school who had the police drag off a kid for using a knife appropriately have any common sense at all. There has to be someone in charghe who has the abilitya nd the authority to turn their brain on and make a reasonable decision.

Why couldn't the knife have simply been confiscated, the parents called and asked to only supply precut steak and/or plastic knives it the future and explain to the girl that certain items have to be left at home for safety's sake...

Now she has been humilated, she has a 10 day suspension in her permanent record and should she actually do some "real" rule breaking in her later years, cut classes, graffitti.. whatever she will suddenly be a repeat offender.

I also wonder if that elementary school, as the Vixter's did, requires that each child be ~~armed,~~ supplied with a scissor and a compass...(the geometry kind not the naviagational kind) both potential weapons that were carried around in backpacks daily

Have you checked directly with Alfred? A lot of publishers are starting to print things "on demand" since a lot of their holdings are "in the computer". Both Carl Fischer and Boosey used to do that a lot with a lot of their less popular titles.

I'd also check with some of the high school choral discussion boards. See if you can loan one from someone.

I still have the mark in my thigh where a sharp pencil stabbed me , (right through my jeans) during high school

(it was an accident... crocheted handbags were all the rage and the halls were very crowded )

DR JMK, I do indeed have memories of Measure 9...sometimes it is almost hard to believe that it ever was seriously considered.

And whatever did happen to Lon Mabon???

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #414 on:** December 17, 2007, 09:19:19 PM »

DR JMK - You could also use one of those Score Scanning programs... *I'd also just Google for MIDI files. When Steve does his rehearsal CDs for the Richmond Choral Society and Men's Chorus, he finds a lot of files on the web. They're not perfect, but they save him a lot of data/note entry time.

Patti bellowing her way through a legit mezzo part! I'm surprised the Kurt Weill Foundation allowed it to be released for broadcast. Since it's a Doyle production, is she playing the tuba again?

No but she sure ate her fill of the scenery! (Appropriately)
