Title: Grainger's Blithe bells
Post by: pianoplayjl on February 22, 2012, 10:45:07 PM
Anyone have sheet music for it? It is a trascription of something by Bach , arranged by Grainger. PDF would be best. I discovered the piece after listening to Roger Woodward.

wicked hard to play the main version (he did pen a simpler one/"easy mode"), the right hand is essentially parralel major 10ths a bunch of the time. i do not know if it is protected so if someone can confirm for me i'll wait till i hear back before upload if not i can just pm you a download link from my mediafire account and you can have a look, i was interested in playing it but alas i think this is one of those that i am just physically not put together in a way to pull it off (it would be wicked hard to easily and musically 'roll' all those 10ths and preserve the melodic line i think and i don't have his simple version with the difficult intervals eliminated).

i have other very nice transcriptions of the 'sheep may safely graze' though that i think are just as lovely in their own way if you're interested in any of those i can send those along too.

Thank you Allthumbs I can always rely on you for sheet music. Enrique, if you also have the simple version, that would be nice.

there are several hard to find hard copy grainger albums in the university's music school score library, the place it huge and can take a while to find things but i have browsed them briefly when i came across them in passing whilel looking (still unsuccessfully) for the kabalevsky concerto no1, i have been needing to go back and revisit those books i think it's in there but can't say for sure, if/when i come across i'll have to send it to you directly since i have have not anyone confirm for me if they are still protected or not by cr laws.

if you want other nice more 'doable' solo versions of the bach secular cantata theme let me know i have several i can send you way.
