Sheet music wanted - and survey

StevieJ · Post by **StevieJ** » Tue Jun 25, 2002 7:24 am

I'm desperately looking for the sheet music for a song called "Three Blind Mice". Can anybody help?

PS I'm looking for a version with the ornamentation marked in

Next question: list your personal top 5 most irritating "signatures" used by people posting to this board.

Stevie,
this is much funnier when you use your own name.
Peace,

Steve,

I know of at least three separate tunes by that name. For some reason, O'Neill's has completely overlooked all of them. If I remember right, Barry Manilow does a pretty nice version on Chieftains 17. I've never tried to transcribe it, though.

But in what key, pray tell???

Cheers,
David

P.S. Of course if you really want to capture the true essence of this classic tune you need to listen to a master musician play it and then learn it by ear!

Now I'm too intimidated to ask anything on the boards, because I might offend an experienced player with my ignorance. I will, however, think up a much longer and Biblically related signature.

Steve,
Don't you really mean "Three Visually Challenged Rodents"?

Dude, you totally forgot half-holing, which by IRTrad Law must be done on a whistle that costs less Euros than the numer of tunes you know, divided by 723. All while played in the style of the only real irish whistler in the world, Yoda O'Brian, who can only be found playing in his cupboard from 3am til 3:07am on the 2nd friday after every harvest moon.

Blackhawk, I'm not offended by ignorance. It does make me smile when people ask for sheet music for tunes that are hardly more difficult than Three Blind Mice. In fact I would say that Jesus Loves Me This I Know (a recent example) is actually far easier to pick up than Three Blind Mice.

"An Dros", to quote another recent example, are a bit like polkas, which are the subject of Jones' 3rd Law of Irish Music:
<blockquote>If someone in a session plays a polka you've never heard, if you can't haven't got it down pat by the the third time through the tune, there's something wrong with you. </blockquote>
(OK OK this is humorous, no need for the ear-learning-challenged to take me to task for this elitist statement!)

As for signatures, I think people should realize that even if they have something to convey the first time you read them, by the 50th time the educational/emotional/humorous content has worn thin.

Personally I had so much religiosity stuffed down my throat when I was a kid that I am allergic to it. I have nothing against religion and faith, BTW, merely the self-conscious parading of it. Isn't there something in the Bible about "empty vessels making lots of noise"? I think that faith is best demonstrated in action, not slogans.

If you find the sheet music, can I get a copy? I've been dying to learn that tune.

Apart from that I think you are narrow-minded insensetive and nasty unredeemed sinner. I encourage you to reform your ways and to entrust your life ot Our Lord Jesus. And remember to take off your hat in church. I Cor. 11:4.

***Good point.

I can't argue with you, there.
