Hail, songwriters of Lochac! As a performer who generally only attends bardic circles at Rowany Festival, I have found that each year I hear wonderful pieces of music that I want to learn, but have no easy way to learn them. Alas, I thought to myself, if only the writers had created sheet music, but I know that many of them don’t read and write sheet music as fluently as I do, and so don’t find it useful. But lack of sheet music is a solvable problem! I would like to offer a trade to Lochac’s songwriters: if you will send me a recording of your songs, I will create sheet music for it. (I reserve the right to refuse to transcribe if I’m uncomfortable doing so for any reason.) It will be up to you what happens with that sheet music from there.. Song recordings can be sent to me as files or as links to an online recording (e.g. soundcloud), and they don’t have to be high quality, just clear enough for me to tell what note you’re singing. I’ll transcribe what I think it is, and send you a recording based on my transcription for you to correct. For preference, you can contact me at meredith.waldron1@gmail.com, or if that doesn’t work, you can use FB messenger as a back up. Written sheet music is a wonderful way to help your songs reach audiences that you can’t, and to preserve them for the future, so please, take me up on it! Yours in service and song, Mistress Gwen verch David
