Beard Hair on the Fiddle ( a new tune )

4/27/2010

0 Comments

 
Scroll all the way to the bottom of the theory page to listen to my new tune I call "Beard Hair on the Fiddle". I wrote it on the 26th of April, 2010 (yesterday). I put a harmony line with it. You can click the mouse and enlarge the tune as sheet music or right click and print. It was a lot of fun to write and is a lot of fun to play. Give it a try.

Top 5 plays were: Lori; Prelude In A; Carousel; Nocturne In D Flat; and Naiad. Top 5 downloads were: A Shaman's Dream; Nebula; Elysium; Prelude In A; and Carousel.

92% of Blue Almonds downloads were on Emusic and the remainder were from itunes and others. 100% of the audio streams were from Deezer from France, and Switzerland. The highest % of downloads were from the good old USA. The top 5 plays and top 5 downloads were essentially the same (within a few hundreths of a percentage point) and they were: Nocturne In B; Jay-henge; Waltz Of The Santanoni; Camenae Dance; and Numen The Blue Stone.

New Fiddle Tune Posted in Theory Page

4/19/2010

0 Comments

 
I've posted a fiddle tune I wrote many years ago in the Theory section. I've scored it for a harmony line and included a computerized recording of the 2 fiddles playing it. I also will delve into the structure of the tune for theory enthusiasts. I also want to thank those who have such an interest in the theory for their questions. Scroll all the way to the bottom on the Theory Page. Thanks.

Thus far, everyone has entered correct answers. The questions are not really all that simple having to do with music theory, so it's encouraging to learn that so many talented musicians are participating and scoring so well.
As time permits, I will continue posting additional questions for more theory fun.
Thanks for taking the time to answer the quizzes.
