Random Late Night Hard Drive Find - Biserica Neagra
Are you working on any costumes or tunes for Halloween? 🎃🎻 Spoiler alert: This post is about one of the tunes I'm practicing for a spooky-season video, if I can pull off the medley I'm imagining! After deciding to make an attempt to transcribe it this evening, I realized just writing the name on the top of the empty page might actually be the hardest part. From there it starts to become a fun puzzle and it's easier to pick it up again here and there to add a little more. But tbh that was about 30 minutes ago and the page still looks exactly the same lol. I pondered the key and key signature for about 10 minutes, and since then have been staring into the middle space wondering whether to make a code for the ornaments at the end like I did for LOTM vs pencil in each any every grace note all throughout the sheet. I thought maybe it would help to listen to the recording instead of just sitting here playing mental violin, so I typed the tune name into my file finder search bar to find the mp3 and low and behold found... A PDF!?? I have absolutely no recollection of commissioning this. But I do know that, off and on over the years, I've tried hiring professional musicians to help get the catalog of tunes from my old bands down on paper. This must have been one of those drafts abandoned mid project. People always tell me, "Just hire someone on Fiverr to do it for you." Lemme tell you, I've learned it's not quite that easy to get done, and get done right. It's interesting that even back then, this was one of the first tunes I wanted someone to tackle. If you take a look at the score, I think you'll see what I mean. It may all be technically correct, but it's not especially easy to follow, and tune itself is much more straightforward. I've attached the MP3 too, in case you'd like to give it a listen. It's a bit Halloween-ish, right? 🖤 Wish me luck over here! I'll keep you posted, and it might be fun to compare the before-and-after scores if I can get it over the finish line this time.
