today's na'art

I'm particularly pleased with this...

Anyway, I wrote another tune today -- an actual, recognized musical form: a hornpipe (I had a midi of a tune I knew was a hornpipe, and copied all the lengths of each notes as I put them in the score...)

I put it up as an unlisted video on YouTube (so you can only find it through this link), so you can hear what it sounds like: http://youtu.be/0srfZoiv37M

And I also made an image of the score (and stuck a pencil sketch I'd already done on the bottom, to make it more interesting):



PS: and here's a video of a woman playing the tune I copied (rhythm-wise) on the fiddle:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDsmaIX4ETM

*.* I love it! You are quite multi-talented.

Thank you... although it is not a talent I come by organically. I discovered recently (some time last year?) that my inability to clap and keep time with music is hard-wired (or not wired) into my brain because of my C.P., so trying play an instrument or repeat a musical phrase I've just heard (or made up, myself) is like trying to hold a dozen live eels in my arms.

Lucky for me, there's a computer program I use, where I can point and click a musical score into being (and computer programs have perfect timing), and the computer keeps the tune and plays it back for me so I don't have to.

The program's called "NoteWorthy Composer" -- some real musical people (who compose music professionally) say it's not very flexible... but then, as with live eels, too much flexibility can make things harder.
