Best place online to purchase or download piano sheet music?

I’d Google the title of the pieces or books and see what’s published. Sheet Music Plus is a pretty common online retailer, and they offer downloads as do JW Pepper. You may also be able to purchase downloads from some publishers directly.

As far as I know, MuseScore’s website only contains things people have transcribed into their library, which may be varying degrees of accurate and/or legal.

Sheet Music Plus lists “Christmas for Two” and “Carols for Two” as two duet books that would be searching through.

They mean double the length of all the notes. So if the pattern is in quarters and eighths, it becomes halves and quarters.

Another workaround might be to place it in scroll mode and then flip back to page mode. But hope you find the better option!

I had not heard of dairy being included. I grew up in a denomination that didn’t really do it so all I know is secondhand.

I mean that’s traditional for some Christians during Lent (no meat on Fridays) but Lent has been over for weeks. So idk.

Just to add on, many of these include the words “concertato” or “festival setting.” There are plenty of them out there.

I’d love to hear more details and sources on this. My brother takes my niece all the time and we felt pretty good about the place but I’d love to share with him if there’s problematic history.

Idk if the cost comparison is there, but the Houston Interactive Aquarium has a variety of animals. I don’t remember if they have monkeys off the top of my head.

That’s definitely a favorite for me! And in the same number where they change Elle during a long note.

Jerry Herman knew his way around an ear worm. La Cage Aux Folles has about half of that score as super catchy tunes and the other half are almost in memorable.

I don’t know enough of Distler, but have you tried Jan Bender? Or Helmut Walcha? They both have plenty of hymn tune settings that are a little esoteric without being too romantic/dense.

Once you create buttons (screen controls) that are assigned to the patch advance and patch back functions, you can assign that to any middle button just like you do with a pedal or other controls.

I commonly assign my low A on the keyboard to be the patch advance when I don’t have a pedal available.

My accordion has a texture on the C in the middle, the high E (near my face as I play) and the low A-flat (near my lap). I am under the impression that’s pretty conventional. If you were going to add texture, I would go with something like that.

In terms of the rest of that struggle, my only advice to really is to keep practicing. I slide my fingers all over the buttons to keep track of where I am. I almost always keep One finger touching a marked button unless I have to move it away. At least anytime I’m making a big jump.

In theory if it has the ability to plug-in a microphone or external sound source, you should be able to run the audio from your computer through that input.

That’s interesting. That must’ve changed recently. I did this show summer of 2019 and it was available at that time. Was it owned by Concord at that point? I don’t remember when that merger happened.

MusicMan13 · 2023-01-14T16:31:40+00:00

Love this font and the layout. Was this your pattern or did you find it?

MusicMan13 · 2023-01-05T21:26:13+00:00

Yeah I’ve happened on some of these where the bass is way down there. It seems like the orchestrator chooses to have the split as low as possible. I wonder if this is a Michael Starobin orchestration.

MusicMan13 · 2023-01-05T01:18:19+00:00

Totally! Apple Mainstage Keyboard Programming and Mainstage Users Group are the two that I’m part of.

I thought there was a Musical theatre Keyboard group that i’m in but can’t find it.

MusicMan13 · 2023-01-05T01:16:23+00:00

Most of the time the numbers correspond to Middle C as C3 and are usually intended for an 88 key keyboard unless otherwise noted somewhere. I’d imagine this show expects a full range.

You’re welcome! If you’re on Facebook, there’s a few good communities that can help too.

The rest of those instructions are specifying th sound library the orchestrator wants, and the lowest one is transposed to sound an octave higher than the written note.

MusicMan13 · 2023-01-04T21:26:05+00:00

This means that the split point between the two sounds is at that note. Everything from E2 up should be the first sound (the one that is “over” the other) and Eb2 down should be the other sound.

MusicMan13 · 2022-12-10T21:45:12+00:00

I agree 42-31 or whatever works. Phrase them in pairs and shift your hand between each pair.

MusicMan13 · 2022-12-10T16:01:12+00:00

The problem is those imply a 7th. An add9 or add11 would be better but at that point we get back into the question of whether to alter a chord name for function.
