OK. It took me a while to find a nice freeware sheet music program I could handle. I'm not finished with the music yet, and since I am not a natural at inventing melodies (and the melody should be easy to remember and not too artistic), the whole thing sounds pretty rotten. But it's a beginning.

UPDATED:
Here's the final version of Ariadne's Dance Song.
The audio version will follow in a few minutes. Since I didn't managed to export the audio file, I'll simply film my notebook playing the song - before that, however, I must recharge my camera's batteries ... Rolling Eyes

OK. Too long to tape it with my camera ... Confused

Yeah I was going to do it but didn't have time today (damn summer homework Razz

)

I may also alter the melody. You didn't sound like you liked it much, so if I have any input I'll be sure to give it. I'll take a look at it tomorrow.

That's great Dav - a job for a real Mythopoeia!

Here are the YouTube links:

The more I listen to it, the more I actually like it. It really makes itself remembered. Saves itself to my mental harddisc. Some breaks might sound too long - I wrote them like this because I wanted to separate the different units clearly enough ... You're welcome to change it, as long as the musical syntax (directions) remains unaltered and our athletes get the information they need from it.

I think it sounds great. Makes me want to grab my harmonica- though lucky for the multiverse I can't record sound Wink

Thanks for putting all that work in!

Pity we can't form a transcontinental FTLR orchestra & choir to tape it collectively ... Dav, if you mark the turns/corners with claps or knocks, you could shorten the breaks considerably - maybe even avoid those strange 6/8 triple bars ... Smile

Bluegh I hate summer homework.

And... I'm trying to get to my in.solit.us account but it's being slow... which means I can't upload the recording of me and the Ariadne's Dance song, sung slow enough to enable running along (though even that's fast Razz

)...

AND THERE WE GO. Once again I.S.U comes through and we have ourselves one genuine Ariadne's Dance!

EDIT: Oh hey, looks like you can upload mp3s to UF. Go figure. See attachment. ISU will be sent to the characters, since they can't use UF Razz

You have a beautiful singing voice. Thank you so much for recording and uploading this! I hope it wasn't to deep ... I'm a second alto, and I guess that's easy to see from the sheet music. That's what you get when you start lilting around and simply try to "catch" the different notes. Although I must admit that my main idea was to set it in C major so it was easy to play ...
