Wanted: Cheminade & Viardot scores

[magiraud]

There will soon be a concert as part of an Open Science & Music event, featuring French and German lieder by female composers, based on OpenScore scores and their renditions in Dezrann, that we organize with @fl-mis.

We have contracted the artists, the duo Béla, and their production house to create a live audio/video recording, which we will release under CC BY-SA 4.0. The duo Béla built the program based on what was available: out of the 20 songs, 16 are already in OpenScore! The other 4 would be a valuable addition to OpenScore and Dezrann:

Cécile Chaminade
• Ma première lettre https://imslp.org/wiki/Ma_premi%C3%A8re_lettre_(Chaminade%2C_C%C3%A9cile)
• Écrin https://imslp.org/wiki/Ecrin_(Chaminade,_C%C3%A9cile)
• Voisinage https://imslp.org/wiki/M%C3%A9lodies,_Recueil_1_(Chaminade,_C%C3%A9cile)
(more generally, there are many melodies by Chaminade that would be nice additions)

Pauline Viardot
• Grands Oiseaux blancs https://imslp.org/wiki/Grands_oiseaux_blancs_(Viardot%2C_Pauline)

@magiraud fantastic!

I'm keen to work together on this!

What kind of time frame? It'll take a while to prep. the recordings, I guess? Do you have a deadline?

[magiraud]

Thank you, and no rush!

Note that, sadly, the capture is not professional (we have a bunch of Zoom and TASCAM mics, as well as 2 or 3 video sources). I plan to edit two or three songs overnight on January 22 to showcase them at the scientific event the next day, but I’ll already have plenty to do with the 16 existing scores.

We did the same three months ago for a Saint-Saëns concert:

• La cloche: Dezrann, YT
• Tristesse: Dezrann, YT

The lighting wasn’t ideal, but all the video/audio files will soon be released under CC BY-SA 4.0 as well. Note that the rendered scores here aren’t of OpenScore quality, this was to showcase another project focused on OMR + collaborative correction.
