Wikipedia:Requested recordings

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shortcut: WP:RREC WP:REQREC

This page is to coordinate efforts to get more free content recordings onto Wikipedia to illustrate music topics, and other areas which would benefit from recordings. This project is mainly to gather forces to record larger works, however if shorter solo clips are needed for a page those requests are welcome as well.

The work recorded must have passed into the Public domain in order to be eligible for recording. The recording must then be released under a Commons compatible license (see Commons:Licensing for more information). Before you request a recording here, please make sure that there is not already a freely licensed recording available, checking Commons, Wikipedia:Sound/list, and other sources first.

Works should be uploaded in the Ogg format, and should quite possibly be uploaded directly to Commons for use on other Wikimedia projects. For help with Ogg, see Wikipedia:Media help.

Requesters should add {{Reqaudio}} to the talk page of the article for which the recording is being requested. Include an optional parameter to specify what the sound should be of.

Example: {{reqaudio|the sound of one hand clapping}}

Adding this template automatically adds the page to Category:Wikipedia requested audio.

Volunteers may want to add themselves to Category:Wikipedians who take recording requests.

[edit] Requests

Please include:

1. The full name of the work, including opus number and version, if applicable.
2. The article(s) which would be illustrated by this recording.
3. Try to find a freely licensed score and include a link. Good places to look for scores include the Choral Public Domain Library [1] and the Werner Icking Music Archive [2]. You could also find old public-domain scores at a local library and upload images to Commons.
4. Please included necessary forces for the work (i.e. number of violins, tenoroons, etc.)

[edit] Agrippina

1. "Ho un non so che" - aria from Agrippina - HMV 6. Could also be used in La Resurrezione and Il pastor fido, as Handel re-used it a lot.
2. Can't find a free score.
3. Required: Soprano, violins, continuo, but could easily be done with just soprano and harpsichord/piano.
4. Moreschi

[edit] The Indian Queen

1. "Why should men quarrel" for The Indian Queen, Z 630.
2. can't find a link.
3. For soprano, recorder/flute, and continuo, here lute is best.
4. Moreschi

[edit] The Fairy-Queen

1. "I am come to lock all fast" for The Fairy-Queen, Z 629.
2. No link but I possess a score that is probably out of copyright and I may be able to upload the score for this air.
3. Required: Soprano, continuo - here lute is good, I think.
4. Moreschi

[edit] Rinaldo

1. Rinaldo, HMV 7: possibly part or all of the solo writing for the sopranino recorder from the aria "Augelletti".
2. Can't find a link.
3. Sopranino recorder
4. Cheers, Moreschi ^Deletion! 13:06, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

1. Johann Sebastian Bach's Cello Suite #1 (BWV 1007), movement 1 (prelude) -

[edit] Volunteers

Please include:

1. Your instrument(s) or voice part.
2. Any other skills or resources you might have to donate, such as a space to record in, instruments you have access to, recording equipment or knowledge.
3. Your general area, where you are willing to travel to for this project.

[edit] Kat Walsh

1. bassoon (skilled), viola (half-decent amateur), soprano recorder (one third-decent amateur)
2. I also have a violin, sopranino and alto recorders, keyboards, a bass clarinet, and a mandolin, in decreasing order of playing proficiency. And a partner I can bring along to record. :-)
3. Washington DC area, will travel. Within the DC metro-accessible area, I'll show up even if we don't do anything productive; the more serious and well-organized the request, the farther I am willing to go.

[edit] Makemi

1. Soprano
2. A chapel space with possible access to an organ for the right project, very basic recording equipment.
3. New York City and area, willing to travel within "tri-state area" for well-organised projects.

[edit] Sesquialtera II

1. Organ
2. Until June 2007, at least: a Fisk modeled after Cavaille-Coll, a Flentrop in the North German style, and a mean-tone Brombaugh. One or the other of these can perform nearly any work in the organ repertoire well.
3. Cleveland, Ohio (based in Oberlin)

[edit] Nazgjunk

1. Vocals: bass/tenor, somewhere inbetween technically. Guitar (nylon acoustic & electric), D-tuned tin whistle.
2. Currently cheap condenser mic (if I get to do a lot I might get something better), PC with regular soundcard as a recorder.
3. Tilburg, the Netherlands, anything within 15 km.

[edit] User:Moreschi

1. Will be able to take occasional requests for solo flute and piano, possibly low countertenor as well.
2. Same as Nazjunk above.

[edit] User:ExplorerCDT

1. Piano (Classical or Jazz), Vocals (Bass-Baritone). Limited Clarinet, Brass, Slide Whistle, Kazoo.
2. Any recording space can be arranged. Connections to professional audio engineers, people in the know.
3. New York City. Will travel for the right project.

[edit] Recordings in progress

[edit] US Presidential campaign songs

1. Any of the songs in the excellent Songs America Voted By (Irwin Silber, 1971).
2. Many articles on American political history would benefit from these recordings.
3. You can get the book in a library, or I'll take it out again and e-mail you the interesting parts.
4. Any singer should do (I don't think accompaniment is necessary).

User:Makemi is working on this one

[edit] The Rite of Spring

• The first opening few bars of The Rite of Spring, for bassoon solo.

1. See [3]. We should definitely have this for one of the most important pieces of music ever composed.
2. Bassoon solo
3. Moreschi

Have a bassoonist friend who has said she will make recordings for WIkipedia. Will ask her. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 11:42, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
