Second 2020 Group Project Suggestion List (I purposefully did not add video links because they are very distracting for a list that has the sole purpose of being a listing. Please Google any you want to hear)

There is also the spreadsheet format provided by SharonC that you may find easier, I have added a few more. Also, I tried to alphabetize by title of the piece. I used SharonC’s spreadsheet to create this, and then went thread by thread to make sure we have them all.

This is a comment made in a reply in the thread that has Halloween in the subject. I think it is pertinent and needs to be visible in the listing of suggestions.

caseclosed, 7/31/2020 in the Halloween thread:

"I'm not advocating for any particular piece, although I wondered if a general tune that's entertaining would be more appropriate this year than one that deals with the subject of death (like the Elfman). Given the world's COVID-19 crisis, titles or content of such tunes could appear tone deaf to potential participants, who might opt out of the Halloween group project. Perhaps a generally spooky, entertaining, or classic tune (like the Grieg, The Doors, or others) would appeal to a wide variety of people and could help to maintain a sense of inclusivity, which has been a hallmark of these group projects. Just a thought as the Halloween music selection process rounds the corner."

I think this should be taken into consideration in the selection. I, too, believe that any piece with the subject of "death" should be eliminated at this time.

I would say, we really need a cheerful piece, not really Halloweeny. I just think we need something to lift our spirits, and lift the spirits of those who will view this performance. It is not just going to be viewed by us. It is going to be on YouTube. We want to bring people cheer at this time, not sadness, fear, etc. Just my opinion or idea, a littler further than caseclosed's. 

I am thinking of it as a needed gift to the public from Fiddlerman's forum members to brighten their days.

Maybe this will help. 

With just one vote and just the name, no other comment, which one of the suggestions in the list above would prefer. Remember, just the name. You can copy and paste if you want, but no explanation or comment. Maybe we can get an idea of the way it is swaying, this way, if you want something “happier” because the list is kind of Halloweeny, or downbeat. Granted, I have no idea what most of those sings because I am not classical. Classical to me is sad and heavy. I also can’t tell from YouTube videos of big orchestras because I am trying to hear the exact melody, and that gets lost in the YouTube orchestra links. So, to me, the list is down beat. 

So, which one are you leaning to right now, no second vote and no comments. It is just a small search out survey.

Is anyone interested in any of the songs above?

Is anyone interested in doing a project, so Fiddlerman knows how many people are interested in doing a group project. 

So far, based on responses, the following are seriously interested. I have not gone back through the thread, so if your name is not on my list, it does not mean I didn’t think you are interested. I just did not want to add a name who was not interested any longer.

Just add your name as a reply, and if you have a song preference from above, just one from list it, too. If none of the above songs, name a new one, just one, but making the list longer will add to the decision. To eliminate clutter, we don’t need a video link, we can google it. Please, just one. If no particular song above interests you, maybe provide a genre or mood of a song you would like to do. It would be nice to narrow the list down.

I hope this helps get the ball rolling down the hill.

Cid (depends on difficulty level)

Ilona (I think)

You will definitely be able to do it. 

That is simply lovely. I don’t recall ever having watched Legends of the Fall. This forum is the only place I have ever heard it.

I keep going back and forth. I love this one. I love the idea of a fun People are Strange and I love Edelweiss. Everyone has such good points about their suggestions.

We have to remember all these suggestions as a jump start for a future project.
