Song Request 2005-08-22 12:16 am I am very interested in Beethoven's Choral Fantasy, but I cannot find the music anywhere in NWC format. Does anybody know a) where it is, or b) if anybody is working on it? It is a beautiful song that I think would be highly enjoyed. Quote Selected

Re: Song Request Reply #2 – 2005-08-23 08:49 am If you mean the whole Symphony and not just the popular choral ending, it's an awfully big lot of music!If you have been in a chorus and had to sit through the orchestral sections waiting for your entry you will know this.. Quote Selected

Re: Song Request Reply #6 – 2005-08-24 04:42 am The scriptorium has the 9th symphony. I'd personally love to sing and sit through the entire peace, but just the sung ending is perfectly fine. I want to sing the piece, but don't have perfect pitch . Thats why I use NWC. Quote Selected
Re: Song Request Reply #7 – 2005-08-24 05:00 pm Much easier than perusing the symphonic score, if you're only interested in the "Ode to Joy" tune: many church hymnals contain settings of this tune in 4 parts. The United Methodist Hymnal, for example, has at least two: "Sing with All the Saints in Glory" and "Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee." Hope this helps. Quote Selected
Re: Song Request Reply #8 – 2005-08-24 11:15 pm I'm working on the Choral Fantasia now, but just the choral section with piano accompaniment, and should have it posted in Scriptorium in a few weeks. However, it well be in the NWC2 format. Quote Selected
