Xeeban’s Musings

Mark and I scored a piece of music called “The Raven” which is based on the last verse of Edgar Allen Poe’s classic poem of the same name. You can find the MP3 here. It is scored for 4 voices, a piano intro and a two part string section (violin and cello).

The score itself is here. Courtesy solfege notes are included above the words for sight reading ease.

Enjoy!

Chorale #32 is online, ready for your enjoyment! You can hear it here:

Just the basic with all parts, tenor emphasis and one with tenor missing. Yell at me if you want the other parts.

I’ve put up the MP3 for the first part of Melodia page 10. You can find it in the Solfege section of the Resources area.

Enjoy! I’ll put up the second part later today and the complete page 10 MP3 as well.

Chorale #25 is done and online, ready for your enjoyment! You can hear it here:

Just the basic with all parts, tenor emphasis and one with tenor missing. Yell at me if you want the other parts.

Chorale 17 is next… but if you look closely, its identical to chorale 15, except that its just a half step lower…

So I am not going to post MP3s for chorale 17. Just use the MP3s for chorale 15.

Most of you probably already love and are using Firefox, the lightweight open source browser based on Mozilla code. If you haven’t, check it out, you’ll love it. I won’t go into it here as I’ll assume you have =)

But have you checked out the new RSS features? I love RSS for keeping track of news sites and my favorite blogs. Now mozilla makes it painless and easy to use right in the browser.

When you go to a site that has an RSS feed, an orange “RSS” icon will appear at the lower right hand corner of the browser. You should see one right now, as this site has an RSS feed. (if you don’t see it and are using Firefox, make sure its upgraded to the latest version!)

Click on this link and you’ll get a menu to subscribe to one or more feeds. It places this feed as a folder in your bookmarks and the individual news items are links in the folder. Sweet! Simple! I love it.
