Hi Adrian,

The result is fantastic. The work that must have gone into the photographs, the text and the music staggers me.

I do wish that there were a text to sung program available. There is something called Virtual Voice (I think), but it only works with a notation program from France, which when I tried it several years ago I found quite non-intuitive to use. I did make a recording of the first couple of lines of "Simple Gifts", using the operatic soprano voice, and it wasn't bad. But although there are several voices to choose from, there is no chorus, or wasn't at the time.

Nevertheless, your latest effort comes off very well, and as I would wish for all music with words, I could hear a live performance.

all best,
mgj

I might as well try out the new youtube feature for my song, so here goes:

Howdy Adrian,

Cool! I'm glad you were able to use the new feature without (apparently) any problems. I find this to be a lot nicer than having to cruise over to YouTube to hear and see the video.

I do hope someone jumps on the opportunity to perform this piece!

ttfn,
Sherry

Last Night my local choir performed the piece in their Xmas concert, so I'd like to share it with those who care to listen.

The recording was on a pocket Yamaha device which only cost about £100, but I ironed it out in the audio side of Cubase.

I've done a Youtube video for this new live version:

Howdy Adrian,

Wow! Thanks for sharing this performance of your Carpenter's Song piece. That must have been a very fun and fulfilling time, hearing your music come to life like that.

Congratulations
Sherry
