Carpet Weaving

I am also opting for this piece. I could give advice on the fingerings, based on our previous work with the piece.

Berceuse

Berceuse (Charles Ives)

Divided into 4 parts:

1. Vocal Melody
2. Right Hand, upper voice
3. Right Hand, lower voice
4. Left Hand (with some additional bits, if the part is doubled)

Below is the tab for the left and right hands, and the original score*. I am nagging the Seattle players to tab out the vocal line, and will add it if/when they get it done. Until then, the score will have to do. Typically we play it with the melody an octave below concert pitch. If the part is doubled, one of the players takes it up an octave on the repeat.

*note that the score is in C# major. We are actually playing it in C major. So just ignore the key signature and you should be good to go. Just mind the accidentals: the B-natural in bar 5 is interpreted as B-flat, and the C-double-sharp in bar 9 is simply a C#.

UPDATE (Feb 13): I have added the music/tab for the melody.

Carpet Weaving

Carpet Weaving - de Hartmann/Gurdjieff

This is Bert and Fabio's arrangement. Martin Schwutke presented it in Holland and it was included in the performance. We have been working with it in Seattle, as well. There is one typo in the tab in bar 7 of Guitar 2 - the music is correct, but the tab has an error. If there is a team to play this, they will need to work together on how articulations and ornaments will be played. Also, ignore the "capo 2nd fret" indication at the top of Guitar 2.

Five-Five-FIVE

Composer: Frank Zappa
Arrangement: Leonardo Requejo

The standard is excellence (and we mean that), so I suggest we focus our efforts of learning and practicing to a few excellently played pieces rather that playing everything poorly.

And, as always with the OCG, we can't really say what is going to happen so it might be that none of this gets performed...who knows. In any case, don't get too attached...

All the best and see you all soon!

From Curt - adding a couple of possibilities as well. Echoing Leo, best to know what pieces you can contribute to with excellence, and come fully prepared with those. There will be very little time once we arrive to begin learning something new.
