Post by: Joe Eidson on 1998-02-19 05:00 AM
I'm sorry to post this here but I am desperate and this is
my last hope! =(
Does anyone out there have/know where I can get a MIDI or a
Noteworthy file of the song "Universal Judgment" by Camille
de Nardin???? I really would like to find this song, and I hope
someone can help.
Thanks,
-= Joe =-

Try
http://www.und.nodak.edu/instruct/knorman/521/universaljudg.html
and
http://www.realism.com/Pierce/notes97.htm

That's all I could find using Altavista. Neither are Midis, but both give the publisher's name.
I imagine the piece is still in copyright.

Not too sure about the copyright, if what they say is correct, "This symphonic poem won first prize at a national band competition in Naples in 1878 and was first published in 1934."
I think it's fifty years after date of publication if the composer has died before 1924 (75 years ago).

I think I played it in High School Honor Band. It's for full concert band, and has lots of difficult altissimo clarinet?
Don't know where you'd find that.
Or is there another piece with that name?

>> Kent:
Not sure about the clarinet part, I play french horn myself.....
I know there is lots of 16th-note tounging.....
I think I will just borrow the score from my director and
sequence it myself.
Thanks for your help.

Does any one Know who wrote Amazing Grace, and more importantly in what year?

Amazing Grace was written by John Newton in about 1750
in Olney, Buckinghamshire, England.

Olney was also the home of William Cowper, another well know poet/hymn writer. It has the longest high street in England and is the home of the Pancake Race.

The tune is originally a Scottish folk song imported into America and attached to Newton's hymn.
