Merry Widow!!
wah i really like this song man... it's sort of like having a crush on this song... although it has a few nonsense things which i do not understand...
1. there are no timpani specifications on my score. this can be for 2 reasons. the publisher forgot to add them in, or they expect the band playing this to have seven already-tuned-do-not-change timpani
2. the fermatas(is this how u spell it?) on all the other band members scores dun appear in mine, except for the one on the 2nd last bar of the whole song...
3. at the molto allarg. part, 2 bars later my score shows a 3 semi-thriplets and then a minim roll.... okok think abt it, how de heck can u count 5 quavers in 2 crochets?? ok some of u dun understand la...
4. same reference to no.3.... in percussion terms it's called a drag, where the sticks are bounced on one hand before the actual crochet or quaver is heard... in the merry widow timpani score, it is a drag on alternate timpani, so how u expect my mallet to bounce repeatedly?? boingboingboingdoooooooommmmmmmmm, isit liddat? dunno, so i heck care i copy the tubas they all, take zat's cue to do tat thing...
yeah, i guess some of the ppl hu read this might not understand all that nonsense abt the score or wadeva...
1 more comment: like, i totally agree wif yimei abt the musical thing... its rather dumb to be sitting there watching those freaking idiots start to prepare when we've oredi prepared ourselves... AND we haf to bring the percussion instruments down oso lor... the conga specially for the choir, if dun haf choir singing i dunnid to bring down oredi...
arh, i type too much oredi, at least i feel better after letting all tat nonsensical things in my head go out into this post...
