Thaxted Composition by Gustav Holst – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thaxted_(tune) MIDI piano arrangement courtesy of The Hymnary. Guitar by BIAB, RealTrack ~~365:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 085. I am posting this 71 seconds long bare bones setting because the tune is so lovely and the RealTrack is so wonderful I cannot stifle myself. I do hope to come back to this someday and expand it into a slightly longer short piece, along the lines of what I did with Carrickfergus. (later...) Please see https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=711124for the conclusion of this project!

Thanks, and I'll be sure not to try and recycle this thread if and when I do come up with a longer version, thanks to your advice last time around. ( The Carrickfergus thread is really a mess now, the main post has a link I can't edit and the real link is buried in chitchat way down. I edited things on SoundCloud so the demo link now points to a copy of the final version, which is better than a dead link but exceptionally suboptimal.)

a funny thing... we used to have this great Bass player in our old band, His name was Ted THAXton...
This morning, I listened this, "Carrickfergus" and "All That There Is" in that order... and was soothed and relaxed by the lovely music I was hearing...
I really enjoyed all three together.
Great work Mark.

Here's the tune upside-down and backwards: https://soundcloud.com/mark_hayes/thaxted-inverted-reversed (SUPPRESSED) The lyrics were in the Hymnary MIDI, and startled was I when I heard Kevin singing them!

Beautiful arrangement. Yeah, too short you should put out that longer version.

'tis a lovely thing but 'tis also a pity Gus' work was turned into a worship & praise piece in the great tradition of theft sanctioned for religious purposes.

Mark,
You certainly know your way around a score.
I have no idea how you create these pieces in BIAB, I'm a total novice.
You pump out some stuff I'd never otherwise thing of listening to but, I do.

in the great tradition of theft sanctioned for religious purposes. These particular lyrics are exceptionally feeble, so I think I'll steer clear of them. If I do use a bot singer I'll seek out some alternatives, no problem with Jeezian if it's clever.

You pump out some stuff I'd never otherwise thing of listening to but, I do. Not to take any more credit than is due: I rely heavily on (1) downloadable MIDI files and (2) BIAB's ability to generate chord sheets from them. Try it, you will either be totally amazed or completely disappointed, depending! And thanks again.

Wow, Mark. I love the intricacies of Carrickfergus. Brilliant. I cannot stifle myself. Thaxted is a really fine piece, and I can't wait to hear the Mark Hayes treatment on it. [Once again, I am thoroughly amazed at ray's musical knowledge.]

The passive masses grown. One can spend much time, and well, pondering a couplet like that.

[Once again, I am thoroughly amazed at ray's musical knowledge.] Muchus thankus for these kind words. I am very proud of Carrickfergus.This music here comes originally from Holst's big symphonic work The Planets, which also contains the awesome movement Mars, The Bringer of War. I tried messing with Mars in BIAB, but BIAB's MIDI import didn't like the 5/4. =8^( Thanks again. Gratitudinous Maximus.

Hi Mark,
You surprise me all the time with your songs! Sometimes strange, sometimes so classic. wonderful. You are a very creative man!
I listened to little Thaxted and big Carrickfergus and liked them both.
But the last one more. Very well composed. Only ad 1:05 I would have done something else with the piano...
And I think Thaxted has a lovely melody. So that will be a promising project. I only would like the recorder be replaced by a flute (and some reverb). But surprise me!
Hans
