September 4, 2025Sep 4 Three Part Songs to Poems by G.M. Hopkins Free Sheet Music by Robert C. Fox for Various Instruments | Noteflight I'll get the other two in! Here's a start. The Windhover.
September 10, 2025Sep 10 Author I'll get the second one in pretty soon. I am a bit drunk on beer right now, and can technically compose or enter notes when drunk, but functionally cannot enter notes when drunk! Go figure... Anyone interested: I actually remembered to put in composition dates on these three partsongs! They are of course partsongs, so the alto and tenor voices are not so interesting. The Windhover, 4-29-21. Binsey Poplars 3-20-21, Spring 5-02-21. You will have to wait for the second two: TOO MUCH BEER! 😋

I'll leave out the details so I don't get banned again...😁The others will not be too hard to enter, but I need some time off! I am mainly researching and thinking about music rather than writing right now. EDIT: I am pleased with the number of views for this short piece so far, in a bad Noteflight rendition! I really should get the other two in, and thank you! Be sure to read the poem(s) carefully; they are music already, making Hopkins very difficult to set.

January 14Jan 14 Author Here's number three, because I like it! I'll get number two in eventually! Three Part Songs to Poems by G.M. Hopkins-3 Free Sheet Music by Robert C. Fox for Various Instruments | Noteflight
March 28Mar 28 Author Here is number two at long last. I'll get the words in later.Three Part Songs to Poems by G.M. Hopkins-2 Free Sheet Music by Robert C. Fox for Various Instruments | Noteflight(LOL Number Two...)😄You know, Gerard Manley Hopkins, a Jesuit Priest but a very low ranking one, dabbled in musical composition, but all he ever had time to learn was just to notate a melody alone, no parts or chords. Might find one that's good and add a piano accompaniment...someday! Edited March 29Mar 29 by Churchcantor
March 29Mar 29 Author FWIW, here is my "model" for the part songs. It does not sound like your usual Paul Hindemith...Paul Hindemith - Six Chansons - YouTube
