AnnC Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 (edited) Does anyone have the sheet nusic or abc for the 1933 song Gloomy Sunday please? Sometimes sessions I go to are dominated by singers of the 'Dirge-athon' variety, anything not stuffed to the gills with abject misery, death, disease etc. causes raised eyebrows I've given up trying to lighten the mood with the odd cheerfull tune (I'm terminally optimistic) and fancy trying Sarkynyt Onni (Shattered Happiness) followed shortly after by Gloomy Sunday ....... then sitting back and seeing how many people are driven to throw themselves through the windows (though that could just be my playing) Edited September 17, 2011 by anlej Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Mansfield Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I'm just reading this thread after watching 'A Pink Floyd Miscellany' recorded off the TV last night, including the cheery sentiments (from 1968) If you survive till 2005 I hope you're exceedingly thin For if you are stout You will have to breathe out While the people around you breathe in ...

W: W:The Autumn mourns her rip'ning corn W:By early Winter's ravage torn; W:Across her placid, azure sky, W:She sees the scowling tempest fly; W:Chill runs my blood to hear it rave; W:I think upon the stormy wave, W:Where many a danger I must dare, W:Far from the bonnie banks of Ayr. W: W:'Tis not the surging billows'roar, W:'Tis not that fatal, deadly shore; W:'tho' death in ev'ry shape appear, W:The wretched have no more to fear: W:But round my heart the ties are bound; W:The heart transpierc'd with many a wound; W:These bleed afresh, those ties I tear, W:To leave the bonnie banks of Ayr. W: W:Farewell, old Coilia's hills and dales, W:Her heathy moors and winding vales; W:The scenes where wretched Fancy roves, W:Pursuing past unhappy loves! W:Farewell my friends! farewell my foes! W:My peace with these, my love with those- W:The bursting tears my heart declare, W:Farewell, the bonnie banks of Ayr!

I've just copied the 'middle' treble melody line out longhand (no printer ) so that's cut down the mass of dots to a more manageable looking score Now to have a go at playing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Campin Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I recommend "Worldes Blis". It's so depressing it never fails to cheer me up: (awful weedy performance but it does have the original words and a translation). There are another 12 verses of it, all in the same vein, which I think have never been recorded in the last 800 years. See Dobson and Harrison, "Mediaeval English Songs", for the whole thing. A few more verses (untranslated) here: From the samples on the web, it sounds like John Fleagle has the best version. Dunno how much of it he sings.

Sadly, John died in 1999. Try this, should have tears dripping off noses into beer mugs, Sorry about the sound quality, it's undergone a lot of compression. Interesting. What instrument are you playing? Sounds like a melodion. Could be a hybrid anglo or duet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kautilya Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 (edited) I don't have Gloomy Sunday, but you might try pairing it with Gloomy night: the words seem to fit the same category. - John Wild X: 14036 T:Gloomy Night S:Digital Tradition, glomnite N:Author: Robert Burns N:Footnote: Tune: Roslin Castle (122) O:Scots Dots and text all on one A4 page or smaller - that's terrific - really useful to have on one page - 12 out of 10 for cleverness! What I need to work out now is how to open the midi in a format where I can adjust speed etc while playing it and also save it to file. The new thin, whiteish midi playing bar which opens does not allow me to do either. Previously when you hit the midi button in tuneotron it used to download and then you opened the containing folder and then it would open to play and then you would save it with the same name as the master score file. so they come up together a month later when you want to play sing and listen. How to open the new play bar (it;s quicktime I think) to adjust speed etc? I will try to put up a pic of the bar tks!
