Here are the notes for this shelter-in-place rehearsal.
Below the notes are the links to sheet music and reference tracks.
Notes
Lament (Strings only)
Composed for string quartet in 1994.
A combination of dark and hope appropriate for this time.
This is its first realization.
This track has MIDI strings over MIDI drums.
Count in is 3 + 3/4 bars of Drums.
For syncing, when you record, say aloud in the pickup bar”
“ONE AND TWO AND THREE”
Since this one is so short and easy, please submit 2 takes, as I’d like to see what layering sounds like.
Octagon Warrior
Reference track has MIDI strings over the original rock band version.
8 bars count in: 6 bars drums, 1 bar hits, 1 bar rest.
When you record, during the count in, say aloud to the hits (8th notes)
“DO NOT LEAVE IT IN THE JUDGES’ HANDS!”
Next Level Shit
Count in is 6 bars of 3/2 son clave. If you don’t have a part from A6, feel free to solo.
As It Was
Count in is 8 bars. If you have a part with solo changes, feel free to solo.
