I will be very surprised if I have ever heard of this composer, I hope he writes better music than Simple Gifts...

I always thought that JS Bach was the first composer ever, I never knew they made music before him.

There are three Praetorius’s ,,Jacob died in 1586... don’t think he’s the one ...Hieronymus and Michael came later

Okay, this is almost a giveaway, but after you identify the composer, you still have to come up with the piece of music:



He was composer and organist to, in order, the courts of Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary, and Elizabeth I.

Come on Russ, you are making it so easy on us as if we never studied at Julliard...this is too easy for me to even tell you guys what it is. Everybody knows the composer and organist to the courts of Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary and Elizabeth I....what do you think we are - a bunch of country bumpkins? - he said jokingly.

Chuck, I’m going to give it to you despite being one off.



Notice, in the list you posted, the next to last is “Psalm 67, tune known as Tallis’ Canon”.



It is the Tallis Canon!



Here’s a nice treatment that even works in “Old Hundredth”:  m.youtube.com/watch?v=TXaHuzD8GR8

You throw darts in the bathroom?  Too much information, Chuck; too much information!

Woah, that's nice Chuck.



I've got one of these (Federal  Ortho-Sonic) with a big ol' horn, but my wife won't let me display it :( 



Doesn't fit our decor or some nonsense like that.



chuckv97 - Posted - 04/09/2018:  11:41:30


Nice, Jeff.. decor - wuzzat?
Actually we had a Stromberg-Carlson table model when I was a kid. That photo is off a website...wish it was mine, tho

Rawhide Creek - Posted - 04/09/2018:  11:46:20


I prefer my Atwater-Kent with the batteries and the magnetic headphones, and a long wire out the window..





One of the things retirement has brought me is many opportunities to restore vintage/antique radios.  It’s especially nice that I can afford to do it at a reasonable cost to others.

Russ, I am continually amazed at the things you do/have done. I would love to know how to restore old radios.

Mooooo - Posted - 04/09/2018:  12:01:13


This is off topic, but I know how much you guys like theory. Check out what Eddy Davis has been doing over in the Jazz Advice section, he's pretty amazing and the things he talks about are applicable to any instrument. Here's a link to his latest gem: Eddy's tutorial on the Flat 5, check it out, you won't be sorry.

While we wait, what Beatles song featured the tritone?

chuckv97 - Posted - 04/09/2018:  13:44:32


Just to clarify,,,that reel you’se are tailing goes to a flatted sixth chord in the B part...it does not modulate to the flatted sixth key, comprendez?

Mooooo - Posted - 04/09/2018:  18:15:30


This is reely hard since I don't know many reels and I don't play any reels, as far as I know.

Is that the difference between reel tail and whole sail, which would be a hornpipe?

I first heard this reel on an old budget Starday album of fiddlers - Tommy Jackson, Chubby Anthony, Chubby Wise,etc.- some with banjo, including the great Alan Shelton. Hint: it has a word in the title that is related to hiver (Fr.)..... the title is all in English, however (just having fun with yooz baffled guys)

From my French class Freshman year of High School, I know that Hiver is Winter, and something that has to do with winter is snow, and a song about snow that has to do with fiddlers is Snowflake Reel....that's all I got. Could it be Snowflake Reel? I never heard Alan Shelton do that one, but there's a lot of things I haven't heard.



I just listened to it now and I think I'm on to something here. I knew it sounded familiar, It's on the Pickaway LP by Vic Jordan.

chuckv97 - Posted - 04/09/2018:  23:17:23


YESSIREE BOB! err, Mooooo. Snowflake Reel it is. No, Allen Shelton was not on the cut on the album I had. Key of D, goes to Bflat in the B part for two measures.

Your prize, Mike, is a fabulous pair of genuine Arctic sealskin mukluks from the souvenir craft shops of southern China.

ooooh sealskin, nice. I hope it's baby sealskin for that extra warmth. I will use them on my next polar expedition!

That's an interesting tune, you don't hear many tunes in the old time/fiddle/bluegrass genres that have a flatted 6th chord. Kind of cool.



I'm almost too tired to think of a new tune....give me a bit, let me think.

In honor of the Flatted 6 and the thread about the attack on Bluegrass, this song has lots of chords in it and here is the progression:
I bVI I VI II V I vi ii V
