Hello Art!
We are starting with your MTP work for June in this thread. As arranged in your introduction thread, I am providing you with transcribing assignment in your 1st assignment! I have decided to make it as popular and poppy as possible, and we will discuss why as soon as you complete the assignment! 1st assignment : When you believe transcription (verse and chorus at least) - Check out famous song "When you believe" HERE - I would like you to transcribe Harmony and Melody parts for verse and chorus! - You don't have to transcribe every single verse and chorus nor to do voice add ons, I am just looking for basic melody and harmony! - Complete your transcription in Guitar pro software and submit it in your thread here. - For extra assignment, you can work out chord inversions and do bass part! Deadline for this assignment is 6 days from now which is 9th of June! I hope this will be enough time for you to complete the work. If you need an extension just let me know. Look forward to any questions you might have, feel free to respond here any time! Pedja |

Oh my.. Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston - my two favourite "singers"!
 Well, homework is homework I guess.. I started transcribing from the link you gave me, but after the intro the audio quality wasn't to my liking, so I followed the music from here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6INAvfwazW4 Just intro, first verse and first chorus.. I considered doing the bridge too but didn't think I'd survive listening to any more than I had to  I simplified the vocal melody and ignored those atrocious, migraine-inducing, over-indulgent melismas that I so love.. Since Guitar Pro seems to make up its own form of musical notation, throwing centuries of convention out of the window (unlike Sibelius) and it's not designed to accommodate piano music or anything, the music looks a bit confusing (atleast to me it does) - I just rushed to get the notes down as I heard them. I ran it, concurrently whilst transcribing, through some VSTs to get a nicer sound; I've attached the mp3 - hopefully this will give you an appreciation for why I chose the notes that I did. MIDI has never sounded good outside of retro gaming. Anyhow, here you go:

I've updated the guitar pro file to include the chord names on the electric piano track (track 4 I think)
wyb.gp5 ( 19.33K )
Number of downloads: 142EDIT: guitar pro displays major 7ths as "M7".. made me confused for a second because I'm used to seeing "maj7" or delta7 This post has been edited by Artemus: Jun 8 2010, 07:35 PM |

Perfect work with chord symbols. A/C# is enough by the way but I understand why you would label it as C# min#5 or b6  For your 2nd assignment I will pick some movie theme like I told you yesterday in the video chat. In the meanwhile you got a day to maybe polish this one more or improve arrangement |

Man.. there are some harmonies in this that are much more complex than I thought!
This is going to take some time. |
