Ideas

  • Comparative madrigals! Multiple settings of the same text by madrigal composers of different periods.
  • I want to make new editions of all madrigals Al Folop has made, with texts. Category Walker Page

Milestones

2022:

  • (2023-01-19): 800 madrigals!
  • (2022-11-10): 700 madrigals!
  • (2022-11-06): 2,000 total pieces!
  • (2022-08-27): 1,900 total pieces!
  • (2022-05-26): I'm tired of getting in arguments with IMSLP staff over whether Frescobaldi pieces can be uploaded in partitura, as the originals mostly were, and if they are "arrangements", or whether parts can be supplied for other instruments. All new Frescobaldi typesets will only be available at DFWviols.com/typeset/girolamo_frescobaldi
  • (2022-04-24): Monteverdi's complete Libro Secondo a 5 finished! (except for 1 piece, I started this last month)
  • (early April): 1,800 pieces!

2021:

  • (2021-11-27): Hardy's Taxi Cab # of separate IMSLP pieces
  • (2021-11-07): [counting multi-part pieces each on their own, 2000 pieces! Al Folop did just less than 3000. I started 9 1/2 years ago, so I should match Folop within 5 years]
  • (2021-10-30): 1,700 pieces!
  • (2021-09-28): 600 madrigals! (or a little over, some aren't tagged yet)
  • July: I took about 10 months off from typesetting to improve some technical skills. I intend to set again at least through the end of the year, in my free time

2020:

  • (2020-09-16) 1,600 pieces!
  • (2020-07-02) 1,500 pieces!
  • (2020-06-07) Gabrieli 4-part 1576 collection finished!
  • (2020-04-19) 1,400 pieces total! I've averaged 1 a day since Nov 2.
  • (2020-01-??) 500 madrigals!

2018:

  • (2018-09-26) 1,100 pieces!
  • (2018-09-16) After 5 years of work, finished Willaert's Musica Nova madrigals!
  • (2018-06-23) Finally got my 1000 pieces milestone.

2017:

  • After doing no work from Nov 2016-July 2017, I've jumped back strongly into typesetting. Working on early viol consort music.

2016:

  • (2016-09-01) 400 madrigals! Pretty close to finishing the Willaert Musica Nova, too.
  • (2016-08-29) 930. 70 pieces left to go for year, can probably do it. Focusing on serious stuff. Not gonna transcribe small things to get to goal faster.
  • (2016-06-03) 900! 60% through goal, plenty of time to reach year's goal.
  • (2016-04-13) 850! 40% through 2016 goal, making good time.
  • (2016-03-05) 800! Plus 20% of the way for my 2016 goal.

2015:

  • (2015-12-31) 749 distinct pieces! Missed goal by 1. 15 hour shift involving 7 hr maintenance window screwed me up.
  • (2015-10-15) 700 distinct pieces wooooo!
  • (2015-08-30) 650 distinct pieces!
  • (2015-07-11) 300 madrigal settings! Half of total output!
  • (2015-07-06) 600 distinct pieces! Celebrated with a birthday madrigal by Marenzio for #600.
  • (2015-06-02) 550 distinct uploads (or really, pages of pieces, because some are multiple parts)

Known errors

Errors I know exist, which I need to fix.

  • got date (decade) wrong on Marenzio's il terzo libro de madrigali a 6
  • Vincenzo Ruffo la gamba: source has a typo (Vapriccio)
  • Ferrabosco Susanna Fayre: parts use complete-score include file
  • Banchiera: Canzon sesta change spelling of title
  • Gastoldi 1598 duos mistakenly list Venice as publication location rather than Milan
  • Canti C 007 - tritone leap in bass (maybe 0005, but I think 007--came across it while playing in ensemble)
  • Raverii: tenor parts of most pieces say "part 3 or 4" instead of "part 3 of 4"
  • Morley 3 parts, #17, final note (F) in bassus is octave too high
  • Fix colored parts away from 2/3 in C time to 2. 4
  • Vaghi boschetti by de wert: correct syllable breakup of Cedri~et (have: Ced -- ri~et)
  • Marenzio #11: fix spelling of upload file (filename has #10's name)
  • Susanna Fayre by Ferrabosco doesn't credit Ferrabosco in the music. Also, need to modernize spelling.
  • Tasso's name spelled in a5 wert pieces.
  • Gabrieli's name spelled Gabrielli in some piece.

What is Hawthorne Music?

An in-joke, mostly. The person who introduced me to the viola da gamba later became my landlord. She lives on Hawthorne Street in Dallas, TX, in an up-stairs/downstairs duplex, and owns both. The downstairs apartment had a vacancy, and I moved in. Two other mutual friends referred to this arrangement as something like "The Hawthorne Early Music Center of Dallas". I adopted it has the publishing house for my music, which is roughly based on the look-and-feel of the late George Hunter's editions (well-known in the viol community) published under Northwood Music (now owned Charlie Ogle). None of mine have been physically published yet, but I have self-publishing plans for the future...
