Ilmenau Over All the Treetops is an adaptation of Ives’s setting of Goethe’s poem dated from 1902 in 7-limit JI. The vocal line is carried by a bassoon and the accompaniment is a combination of Soniccouture’s english theorbo and psaltery. The piece was transposed from E to C to take advantage of the xenharmonium retuning script, also from Soniccouture.

I’d be curious to hear what it would sound like with you singing Reg. Be looking in your email for a translation from the German and some practice tracks. You can decide if you want to take this on or not since it’s easy for me to send you the tracks.
Nice piece Chris really liking that Bassoon…
