Re: Somewhere Duet
Hi Ralph
Thanks for the post about Transposing. When I came to try to play the Alto line of your duets I couldn’t understand them because they show notes on the score which are below what the Alto recorder can play. I then realised that they didn’t sound as written because they show harmonies that shouldn’t work, yet they sound OK when played by Notation on the computer. I enlisted my daughter’s help and we found a place in one of them that showed middle C written in both staves … yet the notes were not the same when played in Notation! I couldn’t understand why, but my daughter tells me that the 5 semitones up that the Alto line had been transposed means that it can be played on the Alto recorder using Soprano recorder fingering. We don’t learn that way over here … we learn different fingering for the two recorders. I have to transpose the Alto line so that C ‘sounds as C’ and not as F! Then, in order to look right on the staff it needed to go up an octave! We got it sorted and I learned about transposing in the process! Thanks for the duets and the enforced learning that came with them! Jane |
