just noticed this update on the NPU site:
The IMCO (Irish Music Collections Online) facility was launched by Terry Moylan at the Breathnach Commemoration on Saturday 5th December.
It consists of modern interactive settings of tune and airs from music collections dating back to the early 18th century. Users can see the tune onscreen in staff notation, cna make it play, and can change the speed, key and pitch of the playback.
This new feature of our site is at > http://www.pipers.ie/IMCO
Great find and a wonderful resource. I only wish the NPU would email these additions out to their members. Maybe they’ll be something in the next An Píobaire.
ohboyohboyohboy!! up NPU!
Well done NPU.
On a side note, I’m having trouble with the Scorch ‘Playback Device’. I can’t select an instrument and I hit play, all I get is sound effects (percussion, mainly).
Is anyone else having a similar problem?
I get no sound at all, at all. Great work getting this out there, however.
What an amazing resource!!!
Isn’t it interesting how Baroque-sounding the earliest pieces are.
