Help with musical notation.

[Daniel]

I was wondering if someone could post a simple musical notation for the song "The Wings"... I am having difficulty picking it out on a keyboard. lol.

There is sheet music available.   http://www.amazon.com/Hal-Leonard-Picture-Brokeback-Mountain/dp/B000K67WH8/ref=sr_1_17/104-5818074-9542301?ie=UTF8&s=musical-instruments&qid=1182560847&sr=8-17

Off the top of my head, the melody (recorded version) is in G and goes:

B C D F—  E—  CC  B—

B C B A—  G— GG.

[LauraGigs]

The chord progression is

G a G  d—  C—  aa G—

G a G d—  C—  GG.

[David In Indy]

It's amazing how such a simple little song can be so beautiful.

Thanks... Now to get to the work at hand... Translating the song into Solresol, which is fairly difficult because I don't have a full dictionary, but we'll see what I can do.

B / G (Thanks) C / a (but), D / G (our), F- / d-  (love), E- / C- (in order). CC / aa (to be someone). B- / G- (Thanks)

B / G (Thanks) C / a (but) B / G (Thanks), A- / d- (yours), G- / C- (selves). GG / GG (possible.)

Okay, well that didn't go anywhere. Either that, or I don't have enough information about Solresol. I would think that the words used would be short "Two-note words" but I just combined chord and note to create a two-note word.

I just want to take this opportunity to say that ineedcrayons and I had the extraordinary privilege of standing under the wide and wise Colorado sky, while LauraGigs played a small concert just for the two of us, the last evening of the BBQ adventure.  The combination of the music, the two lovely Brokies I was with, the breeze, the sunset, the clouds, the horses nearby, the wide open wonderousness opened up a wonderousness in me that I'm still enjoying.

Awww, Clarissa you're a sweetie.     

(I think I set off some coyote yips.)

That's really interesting, Daniel.  I'd never heard of Solresol!
