More about Brendan's music

[celticdragonfly]

Pictures of what he wrote, and ways to play it, if you are willing to jump through a few hoops.

Here is a picture of the score as he drew it:


Okay, here is a picture of the score as I best could interpret it, adding details like measures:


If you would like to play this score, you can do it with Finale NotePad, which is the free version of the software, to get it
Click here!

And then you can get the .mus file of this - Right click here, pick "save target as" or whatever your browser's equivalent is, and save the file.

Then you can play it in Finale.

I'm trying to come up with a better way to do this, ideally a webpage link where I can say "Just click here to play it!" But that may take me a while.

Here's a picture of the drawing that he did on the back of the page. Why yes, we did check out Blues Clues - Blue's Big Musical from the library a couple of weeks ago!

Finale

Ah, good-looking music. I've been using the Print Music Program, which is another generation of Finale, I believe.

Tell Brendan Nana likes his music. I hope he'll play it for me some day.

The first two stanzas of the treble clef sound neat on my recorder. When I retune my lap dulcimer I'll let you know how that goes ;-)

Um, this is the same kid that I spend 1-3 hours having to get after him constantly to get his homework done, and who wet his pants last night. The luck is, at best, mixed.

I'm still not sure if he actually had a tune in mind or was just placing notes on the lines and happened to come up with something playable.
