"Going Home"
I vote for conceiving the music. Its orgastic.NorCalMusician wrote:You do that again and I will have to post that picture of my head exploding!!!!!
Yikes, I vote for just following the dots and enjoying the music!!!!
Do you think that Gypsies and other folk musicians who dont read music
dont enjoy it?
I like to join in with pieces I have never heard before. As long as I know the tonic note and the scale (major, nat. minor, dorian or whatever) I can play along instantaneously. Even if I don't have the melody down pat whatever I play will be in tune and complement the piece. of course musical sensitivity is also necessary.
Following the dots in anything but symphonic music is like making love while reading a how to manual. Whatever turns you on, I suppose.

Re: "Going Home"
Our pipe band has played that thing so often that it makes me ill to even think of it. I guess it's a nice tune, I've just heard it way too much...it's just that slow airs are pretty boring for a flourishing tenor drummer.rkottke wrote:A while back, I heard a person playing on a whistle "Going Home" from Dvorak's New World Symphony. It was fantastic. Any idea where I might find whistle-friendly sheet music for it?

What I need is sympathy more than envy. I had major dental implant surgery recently and my dentures are still adjusting and its pinching at my fluting. Really hurts bad.

Sorry to hear about the surgery, I hope it gets better soon. Until then, you should learn how to play the musical saw, I heard Ivan Stiles "bow" "Going Home" on one and it was very sorrowful and beautiful. It brought tears to my eyes.talasiga wrote: What I need is sympathy more than envy. I had major dental implant surgery recently and my dentures are still adjusting and its pinching at my fluting.

I had surgery recently as well. Not dental, but sinus surgery still puts a camper on playing for a bit of time!!! Here's to a quick recovery and adjustment!!! Steven - IDAwHOa - Wood Rocks

My Great-Grand Father was a violin maker, a musician, horse trader and a Roma (Gypsy). What makes you assume that the Roma do not know how to read music? From the papers he left the family, he appears to have had a great ear for picking up music and putting it to music notation.NorCalMusician wrote:Do you think that Gypsies and other folk musicians who dont read music dont enjoy it?
