Music Scores- Membership

Post by Richardrichard9 »

I need a piece from music scores, I only need one piece, so I think that it is pointless to pay a bunch of money for the entire membership. Does anyone have the membership, and are willing to download the piece and email it to me?

The piece is: Mozart: K185 Serenade No.3: (all 7 movements) can be found here; http://www.music-scores.com/ensemblem/c ... mposer=137

Please PM if you can help me out.

Anyone help out? I need it for a school ensemble I am working on. The school is giving no money for it, so we have to get all the music free...

I just looked at the site and it says that you can get a year's access for $30. If it's a quintet, that's only $6 each. When I was in high school, that was not even lunch for a week! I'm sure you all can do that. :roll:

Living in Vietnam, I have a new sense of what money really is. Be a little more sensitive here. For six bucks here, I can pay for lunch for me and my two graduate assistants for three weeks. So it is a lot of money, depending on how you look at it.

I would give him a copy of the score, if I had it. You don't need an official arrangement. It's a simple Mozart four-part thing. Just copy the original score and transpose the parts as needed. That isn't so hard.

It's actually a Mozart 7 part (oboe, Horn in D, Trumpet in D, violin I, II, viola and double bass).

That would be no problem, but I actually have no clue on how to transpose the Horn in D to a horn in F, and the Trumpet in D to the trumpet in Bb. That is why I was hoping for the part (they transposed it already). But if you (or someone) can help me with how to transpose those parts it would be great.

Sorry, but you're asking someone else to purchase a legal copy and allow you to pirate it.

There are any number of websites that have free, legal MIDI files of K185, and any number of FREE or trial music notation software that can be used to transcribe the MIDI files and transpose the required parts with only a few mouse clicks.

Don't ask us to break the law for you just because you're too d4mn cheap to buy a legal copy and can't be bothered to obtain a MIDI file and transcribe and transpose it yourself.

If you just get the concept of what a transposed part is, you will have no trouble transposing them yourself.

If you have a part for Instrument in X flat, that means that if a C is written in the staff, the instrument will sound the Xflat (concert pitch) when it plays the written C. All you need to know is the interval between the C and the Xflat, and you can re-write the part changing all the notes by that interval.

So: if a tumpet in D sees a C on the staff, when it plays the C, it sounds like a (concert) D. If you want to rewrite that part for Bb trumpet, you figure out what note the Bb trumpet would have to play in order to have it sound like a concert D, and that is the interval you transpose the part when you are re-writing it. In this case, the Bb trumpet would have to see an E written in the staff in order to sound a concert D when it sees the E.

If you are typing the part into Finale, you just type set up the staff so that it is a transposition for the part you are typing in, and then when you are done you just change the transposition and voila Finale rewrites the part for you and you can just print it out.

Some of the smaller transposing instruments, like Eb trumpet, instead of sounding the Eb below the C when they play, will sound the Eb above the C, in order to have the notes appear in the clef and not elbendy-zillion leger lines above the staff.

MA, who hopes she didn't mess this up
