"A bulwark never failing..."

[alexr_rwx]

I have a strange fixation on hymns and church music. When I played trombone in highschool band, I really enjoyed it when we played chorales to warm up. So I'm hacking away with this new midi keyboard and downloading sheet music to learn to play, and that's primarily what I'm finding... (although: any suggestions for beginner pieces, cola_fan, agonistes, or rockstarling, or anybody else?)

Also: mashup coming soon, with two familiar tunes that you didn't realize were made of the same chords :)

Also also: the music theory course for Fall seems to be all full up. Drat and double drat. There are books about this sort of thing.

Second the Bach. I've still got one of Alan's old Bach books from which I learned a few pieces.

Graduated exercises are good for something simpler. When I was taking composition, my teacher had me work through the Diller-Quayle and then started me on Mikrokosmos, the later of which is really cool.

Look forward to hearing the mashup.
