Sheet Music Request

It’s not “ITM” so don’t get the panties in wad. . .

I’m looking for dots for the early composer Perotin, from the “Magnus Liber Organi.” I’ve tried googling and some other resources without much avail. Is anyone else into early music around here?

Which part of the “Magnus” are you looking for? Are you wanting the whole book, or a particular piece?

Good question! All of it would be cool, but especially

Dum Sigillum
Isaias Cecinit
Alleluia Nativitas

Gonna arrrange them for banjo and bodhran.

I gather the entire thing is something a university library might possess and that’s about it.

:boggle:

You can purchase all 7 volumes here: http://www.oiseau-lyre.com/medren.html

You’re right about university libraries, and I’d imagine you’d have to look in the more major universities. Tulane has it as well as U of Tennessee, Stanford and Notre Dame. If you do a search, you may find more.

Curtis Clarke’s page has Alleluya: Nativitas You’ll need a program like NoteWorthy to convert the midi into sheet music. I have the sheet music for it on my computer, but if you don’t have Noteworthy, my file won’t help you http://www.csupomona.edu/~jcclark/emusic/medieval.html

Another resource for a few Perotin compositions is: http://www.classicalarchives.com/


Interesting idea, Perotin on banjo and bodhran. I’d have to agree with Henke, but to each their own :slight_smile:

Hi Wormdiet

Whe you get it done, how about posting some / all of it on clips and snips, I am curious to see how it turns out.

Obviously the B/B thing was a joke :wink:

I think some of this stuff would sound fantastic on flute and whistle and it wouldn;t be tough to play either. Unfortunately I can;t play 4 parts simultaneously.

Maybe I should get some pipes and use the regulators. . .

:astonished:
At a paltry 2,600 Euros, I think I’ll pass, but thanks!

Hi Wormdiet

Got me there. The request still stands however.

Maybe you should arrange it both ways as a challenge?

A 12-minute long continuous roll on a bodhran. . .. talk about challenging.

EDIT: To listen to, of course :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Two words: Interlibrary loan.

You don’t have to actually go to a university library to access materials kept there; you can frequently get them in any public library via interlibrary loan. This is especially useful with less common works which might not be in a “nearby” university.
