If you go along you'll see what I mean. Its an incredible show - funny, moving and musically brilliant. Back to top

Hi sorry I hadn't read the other thread and didn't realise that they would be playing so many instruments, I thought that they would be transcribing all of the parts to two instruments, that's quite a challenge!   -------------- Hergest Ridge 165 - Ommadawn 038 - Incantations 243 Back to top

ThisName Group: Members Posts: 307 Joined: July 2005 Posted: April 07 2013, 12:51 I transcribed Amarok and was up for a q and a style session on the day and allow people to look at the score but not heard much from the organisers. -------------- www.ryanyardmusic.com Back to top

oblique Group: Members Posts: 411 Joined: Mar. 2005 Posted: April 08 2013, 03:02 @ThisName: I'd bring the transcription along anyway if I were you. I'm pretty sure people are interested to see it, and questions could be answerd one one one too. I wont be there though.
