Nachtwache II (Brahms)

Hi Rafael,
just wanted to let you know in your edition the undelying text is without the German umlaut characters.
I therefore had to create my own edition some time ago (which I'm going to contribute soon too)

Gabrielli Sonata (for strings &/or brass?)

Hi Raf,

On User talk:Vladimir there is a message for you, which I have replied to as best as I can ... it's about a contributed score which seems to be an 8 part Gabrielli Sonata (for strings &/or brass?) ... Nice work, but not a choral work.

Lord for thy tender mercies' sake (unknown)

Hi Rafael

I've just had a look at the above score on your "to do" list. It seems to be a corrupted version of Farrant's motet by the same name. The phrases move in the same direction as the Farrant and the rhythms are similar. On the Rodeby website it is listed as written by "Dr Tye". Is this Christopher Tye? If so, did one composer imitate the other closely or is it just a bad edition?

I appreciate that this is just a jumble of questions but I hope it helps!

Best, Robert

For how long is a score "New"?

May I reiterate a comment I made on the Forum?:

Just a few queries about how scores are categorised as "new":

  • For how long is a score "new" (that is, has the {{NewWork|yy-mm-dd}} template on it)?
  • What happens when the score ceases to be "new"? is the template automatically deleted?
  • Is there a quick way of replacing the [[NewWork.png]] tags with the correct {{NewWork|yy-mm-dd}} template?

Cheers, Rob

Pierre De La Rue & Josquin Des Prez

A little question: I saw you catergorized Pierre De La Rue as [[Category:Composers|La Rue, Pierre de]].

I changed it in [[Category:Composers|De La Rue, Pierre]], because:

  1. following your criterion, one would write "Prez, Josquin des"
  2. better: following your criterion (a sort of "dictionary entry style"), one would write "Rue, Pierre de la", since "la" is just an article in French
  3. the name of the composer is often written "Delarue" (as for "Desprez"), so I wouldn't have doubt on the fact that my version is not only more correct, but even more useful to avoid users not finding the right page

A part from knowing French, I don't have a so big acquaintance on the subject. If you are sure you were right, please rollback.

Account and scores apparently deleted

Hi there. In April 2007, I contributed three scores to O nata lux (Thomas Tallis) (in different keys). These scores, my account (which I just today recreated with the same username), and apparently all trace of my contributions in the history appear to have been deleted . Could you let me know what happened here? I just want to check that I'm not going insane... Thanks! Dnwake 06:32, 18 August 2007 (PDT)

Hello David. Unfortunately, the CPDL server suffered a boot sector crash and we lost a couple of months of edits. I'm very sorry that you lost your contributions but I urge you not to be disheartened! We're working on ways to increase the frequency of the backups so that something like this doesn't happen again. Please refer to this forum thread to find out how to restore your lost works. If you encounter any problems, feel free to leave a message on my talk page. --Bobnotts talk 18:35, 18 August 2007 (PDT)
