Piano music for the songs on Harmonium...

[zurielshimon]

I figured out all of All I Ask. If I have time, and if JazzyManda doesn't mind, I can make my own version.

 Someone else offered to me to transcribe "All I Ask", and I'm not ...  ? I forgot what I was saying. :? Anyway, I don't know if they're gonna do it, ...  Now I'm starting to debate whether or not I'm even going to post this. :x   Make sure you follow the bridge that's in the 'Rinse' version.

----wait.... do you have it transcribed and finished?? :? POST IT!!

[zurielshimon]

No, no, I don't have it.  Someone offered to do it for me, but they haven't finished it and I haven't talked to them since Thursday so I don't even know if they've had time to work on it yet.  As soon as I know something, I'll post it here!

Sorry if I missed your version.. but this should have all the songs posted so far. So hopefully no one has to scroll through 20 pages of posts ever again. XD

whoever posted [and created] the transcribsion for 'AFTERGLOW' [and for 'WHITE HOUSES'], do you think you could resize the sheet music, b/c i printed it out yesterday, wasting money and 4 sheets of paper, b/c it's much to big for the paper used to print it out. i reduced the size, but got the same results, unfortunately.

[zurielshimon]

Use Firefox and Print Preview to resize it before you print it out.

Copy and paste it into Microsoft Word and resize it there.  Worked for me.

I have my own versions converted to PDF. I would've posted nice-looking & easy-to-print PDF files but didn't know how to post them. I guess I could use rapidshare.de to post them? Who wants a PDF version?

well, thank you, very much!!! it took me a while to learn how to do it, but, EUREKA! you guys are my heroes, so thank you. now i feel like i can do anything. i just wish i had said something sooner. :wink:  :!:

Can somebody explain MIDI files...? MY keyboard has the outlets and i have the cables but what exactly do they do... hahaahaa...  :lol:

[Will]

MIDI is a computer language that describes a musical performance. It basically says, turn on this note at time x, release it at time y, play this note with velocity v, hold down the sustain pedal from a to b, etc etc etc. This information was originally just transfered over the MIDI ports on the back of synths (the ugly DIN jacks). A MIDI file is simply all these little pieces of information saved in a file. So, you can record a file that tells another synthesizer how to recreate what you just played.

[VanessaPiana]

i've listened to 'Where the Streets Have No Name', and the piano riffs give me chills, b/c it's kinda haunting [and beautiful], in a way. doesn't it remind anyone of the piano music of the theme opening song on the first few seasons of 'BAYWATCH'?

well, anyway, does anyone [calling all gifted sheet music transcribers] have the ability to transcribe it to sheet music? it's much to fast to be like the original verision. Van made it her own. i really want to get a feel for it on the piano.

[Pyro]

If I could transpose it I would be so happy. I'll probably take a shot at WTSHNN sooner or later. I think what makes it so hard is that there is an echo or maybe more than one melody playing at the same time, or something, I don't know. I'll investigate though.

[VanessaPiana]

well, since you mentioned it, the piano does have a 2-part harmony. and an echo of the piano. it's like her second voice. i didn't really realize that before. but i'm pretty sure if you [or whoever else transcribes the song] will put your own intepretation on it. if you don't know what key it's in, then it's in D Major. maybe she was watching BAYWATCH one day and decided to emulate it, b/c i sounds a lot like it's theme song. either that, or it's just a big coincidence.

as for the 2-part harmony thing, i think that it was amazing that she did that, b/c no other artist has done that with the piano before, not that i know of. cool, huh? i could kiss Van's bf for some of the things he did to make Harmonium a great album. Ron Fair, too.

i decided to send you this now, b/c i probably won't be here for the next couple of days.

[amberbeads]

I could kiss Van's bf too. For a lot of reasons.

Anyone have or feel like figuring out the sheet music for Burden?  ^__^  <3333
