I haven’t been around much for a number of reasons.
The biggest is that I’ve been transcribing a vocal arrangement for my daughter Sarah.
(from a recording I did years ago with my sister, Maureen for her wedding in ’83)
Sarah belongs to an ‘a cappella’ group at her college and wanted to do the version of
“When I fall in love” that I sang many years ago.
It’s an SATB arrangement that divides into six parts in some sections.
Yeah, crazy. But really nice in a Manhattan Transfer kind of way.
I can’t find the sheet music I used so I must use my ears to transcribe this Jazz vocal nightmare.
Truth be told, I’m kind of enjoying it.
It will however keep me from doing too much here for now.
Hope you folks don’t mind.
And I pray these girls want to sing on Sunday night.
If not, Mr. Murphy will not be wearing his slappy-dappy-flappy-happy hat.
(I have no idea what kind of hat that would be, but I’m quite sure it’s outrageously ugly)
Cross your fingers for me, folks.
I bet they’ll love it! It would be so cool if you could record it so we could hear an a cappella arrangement of your work. We need to get you doing some podcasts, Mr. Murphy!
Well, given that you have an excuse, this time we’ll forgive you, but next time???
I’m sure the girls will love and appreciate it….and do a good job singing it too…
I like the idea of pods…in fact that’s a damned good idea..you ever thought about it?
So what’s an SATB arrangement? And i don’t understand your praying that the girls want to sing Sunday night. Are you talking about the group Sarah belongs to? And if they don’t want to, what???? Oh, I think I get it now. If they do sing it, you’ll be very happy, right? (Sorry, I’m slow this morning.) It sounds really cool. I’d LOVE to hear it.
Hey, my brain is beginning to work – Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass???
Ha! The coffee’s kicking in.
Keep us posted okay?
Wow, I am humbled by your musical expertise. How’d it go?
I’m getting a visual of the hat and it’s not pretty!
I’d love to hear them sing……esp. what they are working on with you! How Cool!
Rock On!
