@Fiddlerman Did you know the click track on the pge with the sheet music for the 2024 project is not the right song? It is playing "It's Beginning tomLook a Lot Like Christmas". That is what your chat entry is linked to, also.

I duplicated last years post to make it easier to create this one, then I replaced the relevant items. I didn't get to making the click track yet, thus I forgot to remove the link. Funny enough, I remembered to change the title. lol
It's one of those, coming soon situations. lol
Removed the link yesterday evening. Thanks for pointing that out.

Welcome. Didn't want to have anyone confused more than I get. 🥴🤯

Very cool! A project I do believe I can play, at least at the speed I am doing, which is about as fast as I will be able to play it. From my times hearing it, it is about as fast as my CD versions, so I am not playing it slow. Cool. AND this is on violin, not cello. I will see if I can get through it with cello, too, after I get the violin down pat. Cool.
The keys are great!

I posted the first click track. Let me know if this works for you all before I go ahead and do the other options with single instruments.

I will give it a try in a little bit. 😁

I must went through it with the click track three times. Very nice! I do have problems with the A and E string, so the second time through is extremely hard right now, but I will work on it.
I have a hard time when not playing melody parts because it messes me up from how I know a song too much, You know, "Can't teach and old dog new tricks" sort of thing, so I will work on that part of the song. The first sections are fine, even the part before the repeat I had trouble with at first.
Thanks, Fiddlerman!

Just worked on the second section with the mostly A and E strings again. Getting there. I really really like this. I tried the second violin part, it is a no go.
The tempo is great, please do not increase the tempo one iota! That is my max and I think it is perfect throughout the song.
Anyone else try it with the click track yet? You will love it. I need to get it down early because I might be pretty busy this year as we get closer to the Holidays, so I am spending a lot of time on it now.

For right now, I can understand. Give it some time as it is super early in the game. We'll have tutorials, and click tracks with individual parts.

I don't plan on increasing the tempo just yet. Maybe, possibly, I'll change my mind later, but for now, we are keeping this tempo. That is why I finalized the click track.

I LOVE the harmony for this!
Is it too late to ask about adding something?
Didn't think about saying anything earlier, because I couldn't fully appreciate the score until I heard the click track.
I have only recently been paying any attention to song structure (and I realize this is a hymn), but wondered what you think about adding an intro, a bridge (before the key change), and outro (or coda)?
I don't think it needs to be much to have a HUGE impact... maybe two measures (each)? They could be a slightly slower tempo and/or the verses could be adjusted a few BPM faster (for dramatic, but natural-feeling contrast).
...not trying to upset the apple cart - just figured it can't hurt to ask (?) 😬
I don't think it has to feel 'celtic' like <a href="
