General Information
I like sight-singing Renaissance motets, as well as singing pretty much any other music.
Contact Information
E-mail: motets2008 a t stuy.users.panix.com
If You're in the SF Bay Area
I organize occasional get-togethers for 4-8 singers to do advanced Ren motet sight-singing for fun. These are aimed at singers who can read a Ren motet correctly on the first try (alone on their part) without sounding like they're searching for the notes or getting lost; occasional fleeting errors are only human. We generally sing each piece only once. Singers are usually at the pseudo-professional or professional level; the sound varies based on who is attending and is different every time. We meet in Berkeley on a weekend afternoon or else in downtown SF on a weeknight. Each date is a separate one-time commitment.
E-mail motets2008 (at) stuy.users.panix.com and tell me about yourself if you'd like to find out more and/or get added to the invites list (I generally bring in only one new person per session, maximum, sometimes zero, though I sometimes organize a session where we have primarily new people).
CPDL Projects I'm Interested in Working On
But please feel free to race me to any of these:
- Transferring Requested_articles into Category:Requests_by_composer
- Gathering translations
- I've asked a retired classics professor I know if he can provide some Latin-to-English translations for pieces missing that information as listed at Category:Text_and_translations_requests
- http://www.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/Assumpta_est_Maria needs translation clean-up
- Category:Unknown_nationality
- Suggestion from Bobnotts (paraphrased for my to-do list from his talk page: help update score pages with templates.
- familiarise myself with all the templates listed here and here
- Review recent edits which incorporate the new templates. These are the sort of "template update" edits that would be most useful, so that scores are categorised as a cappella, or as having piano accompaniment, or in English, or by William Byrd, for example.
- Where possible, convert these to instructions that can be posted to the volunteers page.
- Anther place I've been finding clean-up tasks: Category:Pages_awaiting_cleanup
- I haven't yet learned to create new pages for scores and composers and uploading new editions, but am reading through the documentation--several people said they're meaning to add scores, so maybe I can do this for them.
- Rafael Ornes meant to do the following. See if I can figure it out:
- overhaul the Requests page (merely figure out something to propose first to ensure there is agreement)
- fix broken categories, most in Category:Unknown
- I am unqualified--see if I can get one of the musicologists I know to volunteer
- ChoralWiki:Privacy_policy is blank
