Tomplay Sheet Music App <--click for more
People have been playing music for thousands of years, and in some ways, not much has
changed. There's still nothing quite like playing an instrument with a band or full
orchestra — or being one of the lucky ones in attendance to enjoy it.
Tomplay™ is an innovative sheet music app that allows you to play along with accompanying
music recorded by real musicians. The app works with a range of popular instruments like
piano, violin, drums, guitar, and bass, and even includes options like the tuba, bassoon,
and harp.

Have you heard of the Internet Music Score Library Project? It was
founded only five years ago but now providing scores to every soloist,
chamber group, choral group, ensemble, and symphony on the planet.
Because of this resource, the fate of classical music has made a turn
around in the culture for the first time in several generations. One is
more likely to hear live music at the museum, and the great scores of
the past are being given new life with amateur groups acquiring sheet
music that would have been unaffordable in the past. Listeners are
discovering new and forgotten pieces rather than being treated to an
endless litany of warhorses.

Good Morning To You <--click for more
You've probably heard of the song that people sing at birthday parties,
right? You know the one. It starts with the words "Happy Birthday", which
is repeated several times. Supposedly, the song is protected by copyright
by the Warner/Chappell Music Inc., which bought the company which held the
copyright for quite some time. However, the copyright is in dispute,
although Warner/Chappell will strongly defend their rights to the song,
which means almost no restaurant out there will allow their waitstaff to
sing it at someone's birthday celebration.
Anyway, the Happy Birthday song is based on the melody of a song that is
in fact in the public domain. It's called Good Morning To You. You can get
that song and more from the Cantorion website.

This song was first published in an Evangelical Lutheran Sunday School

people think that it was written by Martin Luther, but research has shown
that this is nothing more than a fable. No matter what the story, it is a
nice tune. Try it out!
