Reply To: Mr Fancy Pants
@Lex: Thanks, but I don’t remember my settings or password for my site. They’re all saved on Filezilla at home. 🙁
@Bry: I’m emailing you an NWC file now.
It’s primarily a transcription, but I’ve written a boom-chick piano part (my first ever attempt at accompaniment), and there’s an ad lib part in the middle where I’m gonna try to get my kids to do something Zendrum-like, where I will cue the different sections much as JC pushes the buttons on the Zendrum. I don’t know if they can do it. If not, I’ll resort to something more aleatoric. 🙂 Also, I took out the joke, “Chances are your…best in…everybody’s…pants,” ’cause, y’know, I’m working with other people’s children. I’m afraid I might already be pushing the boundaries with the rather unsportsmanlike message. But on the upside, I hope to get them to wear silly pants. 😀
If anyone else would like a peek, shoot me an email at colleenky AT gmail DOT com. I have midi, pdf and Noteworthy Composer files.
[Note regarding notation for anyone who might be interested: Noteworthy Composer costs all of about $40, so it’s kinda limited, e.g., it can’t notate “Hey, Mr. Fancy Pants!” as spoken using percussion notation, so it’s currently notated on the tonic. Also, I’m undecided as to whether to stick with the triplet notation I’ve got now or just indicate “swung” and “even” eighth notes. I have to unearth the workaround for swung playback in NWC.]
