The pianoscore ouverture-scene 6

Hi guys!
There has been some trouble in getting the final pianoscore to sound here on the site. I have cut it into scenes, so the files are smaller. Let's hope it works. The scenes from ouverture to scene 6 will fit in here, I'll put the scene 7 in a separate shot. The orchestration is about to be ready by next thursday. I will put the midi files and the score here for you to listen and look.
Best wishes

FREE WILL THE PIANOSCORE!

Ladies and Gentlemen!
Congratulations! The work is done, and here you can check out our opera. The duration is about 1h 25 min, including the music of Mozart (which is not in the pianoscore). I want to express my admiration to all of you involved, you've done a absolute great work. It's been a long trip, and it will be smashing to see this all come true on stage next summer. The work will now continue with the orchestration of the pianoscore. I will take full responsibility of that, and promise to treat the your music with utmost care. You are all invited to join in, if you want. There will be no tasks for this, simply if you want to orchestrate, just send in when you want. I will check out the website every week. Your names will appear as composers in the final score, like it has been in the pianoscore. For the orchestration there will be no separate namelists. The final score will be out in the beginning of May.
Thank You all for your inspiring, innovative work. I hope to see you all in Savonlinna in July!
With the very best regards
Markus
PS. The audiofile is far too big for this website. I will ask Päivi to see if it can be put somewher else for you to listen

Scene 5, the whole

Hello Everybody!
Well, this sure took a while to edit. This was really tricky, but I do hope that you will find the solutions motivated. I used some material from the beginning in the end as well, after some dozens of other variations and experiments. Thank you all again for your contributions, and please join in for the final in our opera!
All the best for this year to all of you!

The Music for scene 5, the beginning

Dear Collegues!
I thought that I posted this last week but Päivi just told me she couldn't find the edit. Well, taking a closer look I coldn't find it either. Anyway, here it comes. This one was a really tricky one, but I think it has something glorious in it, and I'll be continuing with the scene's end. All the best to all of you! Thanks!

Joan's Aria - Final version

Here a message from Markus - our composing operative!

Dear Composers!

You have all been waiting a long time for the edit of Joan's aria. It's finally ready. I want to welcome all our new composers warmly on board. It's really great to have more of you collaborating. It also means that the edits are more trickier to do, that's why it took so long. I spent many hours comparing and trying out your material before making this solution. This means, and I'm very very sorry, that I couldn't use Ilari your material in this scene. You sent in for the first time and I do hope you will join in during upcoming tasks. There will be space for your music, and we have a long way to go before this pianoscore is built up to an entity.

What you now hear is a piece of music that in my opinion has coherence. I'm very happy to work with your contributions, the next task will be a BIG choir piece, I hope that you all will enjoy working with that.

Thank you again, it's a true pleasure working with you all!

Best regards from

Markus
