a rather random request for all you music theorists out there... (and i know you're out there)

Aug 22, 2005 13:03

my theory's way rusty, and i can't figure out some of the chords to the song below... any help/suggestion/answers would be appreciated... i'll even bake you some cookies if you help me figure it out :D

since i can't write musical scores easily in ascii, the melody will be written in numerical notation, with the following "caveats":

* each number is one note -- say an eighth note
* () indicates that the info inside is for one note
e.g. (4#) is F# in the key of C -- it is still an eighth note
* _ indicates an eighth rest, or a continuation of previous note into
the next eighth beat
* ^ indicates the same note, but one octave higher
e.g. (1^) is an octave up from middle C in the key of C
* LJ doesn't seem to respect whitespace, so the chord positions are out of sync with the notes
but they are at least on the same line, so it's not hard to figure out where they go *shrug*

here's the melody:

355_(1^)55_4555____
I I V7
455_(2^)55_3555____
V7 V7 I

(1^)(1#^)(2^)_(1^)(1#^)(2)_(2^)(1)612___
? ? ?
2_(4#)_6_(1^)_7(2^)_46___
II II7 V7 ?

355_(1^)55_4555____
I I V7
455_(2^)55_3555____
V7 V7 I
(1^)(1#^)(2^)_(1^)(1#^)(2)_(2^)(1)612___
? ? ?
355_(1^)55_(2^)_5_1___
I I V I

P.S. bonus prize if you identify the song ;)

P.P.S ahem... devonbree? grubbybastard? Ramon? anyone?
