"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.

Here's how it happened: I said "bbl" to a friend on IM. A half hour later, I said, "Bach." He said, "Brahms." I thought, "Huh. I didn't know there was an s on the end of that; I had been thinking Brahm's Lullaby, not Brahms' Lullably." This called for some Wikipedia. I started at Brahms' page, then went to the page about lullabies and realized I couldn't remember the tune of Brahms' Lullaby. The EasyByte page was linked to from the lullabies wiki entry, and I thought, "Hey, Alex was looking for a page like this."

And lo it came to pass.

You're quite welcome; anytime.
