Mark Walsen - Children's Suite for piano

[Ralph Sirvent]

Hello Mark, I would like to see the score for the parallel intervals you posted on your site. Where can I get those? My e-mail address is ralphsirvent@yahoo.com I would pay for these if necessary. I just want to learn how these work. They seem to be how hymn writers write their music and may be related to voice leading. That is what I'm trying to learn the about along with some other principles of music. Thank you. Ralph Sirvent

Hi Ralph,

Mark passed away this past January (you can see this other thread).

He and I were very good friends (I'd worked with him here at Notation Software for many years) and we often shared our personal music projects with each other. From what he had told me about the parallel interval pieces, he had some scribbled scores that he had not gotten into Notation Composer yet. He had done the audio recordings in anticipation of doing some testing with the Melodyne Editor's MIDI export feature to see if he could get a good .mid file from the audio recording. During that testing he had intended to get the scores into Notation Composer either via recording directly using a MIDI keyboard (he had a really nice Yamaha disklavier) or by note entry using the mouse so that he could directly compare the Melodyne export with the "real" thing. Sadly he did not get to finish that project, nor a few others he was working on.

ttfn,
Sherry
