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.

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 3 hours ago3 hr by Churchcantor
