- This is a sequence of the finale from Rimsky-Korsakov's
- suite from his opera "Coq d'Or" (Golden Cockerel), subtitled
- "The Marriage Feast and the Lamentable End of King Dodon".
-
- It has been sequenced for the Proteus 2. I have used the
- One Stop Music Shop sound card for the Piccolo and Timpani
- as the score requires many instruments. However, you may be able to
- shoehorn these two tracks into a 16-channel MIDI setup. Note
- that I have transposed up an octave the entire Piccolo track
- as OSMS does not automatically transpose up this instrument like
- the Proteus 2 does. Also, those using Bars&Pipes Professional
- without a Proteus 2 will notice that I have transposed up an
- octave the Trombones&Tuba track since the Proteus 2 transposes
- this program down an octave to accomodate the tuba. Bars&Pipes
- Professional users will see the score as it appears on paper
- and a Tranpose Tool at the end of each track to convert the
- output to the correct pitch. In the .MID version, all tracks
- have been already transposed as if the score were in C.
- A lot of tracks are necessary as Rimsky-Korsakov requires
- instrument changes in both the Clarinets and Bass Clarinet
- as well as two types of Trumpets.
-
- Note to Proteus 2 owners: I use program 64 for the English
- Horn which uses a fuller range as E-mu did not sample the instrument
- throughout its entire playable range. Also, you will notice
- program changes in the Horns track between a horn section and
- soft and loud horns.
