Hi Sherry and MG
I would like to ask some advice and help regarding the welknown mini-opera Vide cor meum.I intend to visit good old friends again in Jakarta (Indonesia )most of them playing saxophone ( ranging from bariton-tenor-alsto sax ) as a church orchestra,playing in churches for the christian community, besides classical and some jazzy compositions.
I am considering to take my fretless along with me and some arrangements
to play together and also an arrangement to play in church.The Vide cor meum crosses my mind ( because I like it very much )but I am not sure whether it is suitable to play in a church ( Sherry ?? ).
MG, would it be possible to use saxophones to interprete the voices ( tenor and (mezo ) soprano ) in the arrangement ?
With some devine inspiration I might come up with the " low regions "
using the fretless and some effects ( octaves, Chorus/delay,compression ), I hope.
I will try to load up a MP3 version of Vide cor meum and a mid. file
from a sheet file( vocal,piano) I got from the internet,in a second mail.
Thanks for listening
Regards
Djim
