EeToN Group: Members Posts: 845 Joined: Sep. 2001 Posted: Aug. 31 2004, 21:26 There were several concerts in the 80s where Mike wore a T-shirt with diamonds shaping a sheet music on it. I think about this one. Does anyone know which music has this sheet? Is it the sheet music of an Oldfield piece? -------------- If I were music, I would be Enigmatism. Back to top

I can't recognise it. -------------- Check out http://ferniecanto.com.br for all my music, including my latest albums: Don't Stay in the City, Making Amends and Builders of Worlds.

Who told you that the lines all belong to the same piece? Joking aside, maybe Sir M. above here is right - classical. The second line looks a lot like Bach to me. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: Sep. 01 2004, 19:05 There are some lyrics on there too by the looks of it. Unfortunately, that picture is just a tiny bit too unclear to make either the music or the lyrics readable. It looks like a double (piano?) stave, plus something else. I have a feeling that I've read somewhere or other what it's meant to be...maybe in Dark Star? Perhaps that was just something saying it was Tubular Bells - it certainly doesn't look like that.

EeToN Group: Members Posts: 845 Joined: Sep. 2001 Posted: Sep. 02 2004, 16:26 It would be VERY surprising if it turned out that Mike had written Moonlight Shadow already in 1980. Anyway, I'm sure that there is "Let" word in the 3rd line. -------------- If I were music, I would be Enigmatism. Back to top

It was probably written in 1982 but not on any account two years earlier without releasing it. -------------- If I were music, I would be Enigmatism. Back to top

I wonder what washing powder he used, because it certainly lasted him a long time without fading. -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top
