[Artemisia] Re: Internet Part Singing

[Mary Hodges]

The internet part singing project is for any one who is interested.

We found pieces on the internet, posted the websites and the names of 
the songs to the list, learned the songs, and then sang them together at 
Uprising.  It was great fun, and we had help from the Loch Salann 
musicians' guild who learned the parts and played instruments with us.

We need printed music (that's why we need public domain stuff) and one 
of the most helpful websites had printed music, separate midi files of 
each part, and a midi file of all the parts together so that one could 
work up one's own part and then practice against the other parts.  It 
was great fun, and about the only way that a far-flung choir can do any 
thing in a short space of time.   An additional benefit is that it 
allows those who don't read music or who don't have an instrument to 
practice with to participate.

So-do some searching and post your choices so we can discuss them. See 
http://www.arach.net.au/~algernon/ for a good example.

Cheers,
Jehane
