Ms. Codex 1233 is a pretty amazing manuscript. Originally written in the early-to-mid 15th century, it was used continuously through the end of the 18th century. Written in Cologne and probably used by the canons in the Cologne Cathedral, this notated breviary (a liturgical book containing the canonical hours - daily prayers - with musical notation) includes notes and additions made up to 1794. It also includes splatters of candle wax and one page that got a little too close to a candle!

does anyone know how difficult it is to transcribe music? like turn an mp3 back into the notes played to produce it. so you can then make a sheet music pdf out of it!

is this even a possible task (or do you need perfect pitch or something)? if so how labor intensive is it? like you many hours will you need to transcribe a minute long song?

i myself can't even tell how many instruments are playing 0_0

This is Jazzdragon 20, the last one I have made so far. I made it in 2015 (yikes! Time to plan some more!). This one I managed to finish in time for Cinco de Mayo that year, and realizing that I would have it finished in that time frame informed my color and design choices. So he's bold red, gold, and green with Mayan design elements. (Yes, I realize that I should have been using Aztec design elements if I'd wanted to use historically accurate visual elements. I liked what I had in my Codex Borgia and decided to go with Mayan motifs anyway.)

For the dragon, I used Prismacolor pencils over an ink drawing. The rattle heads of the maracas are jasper. The Mayan letterforms are tooled into repousse metal, then painted with an acrylic/soap mixture (this lets the color stick to the metal; it's then spray-sealed). There are lapis lazuli beads, acrylic tiles (the small squares), acrylic bubbles, and various fancy stickers (musical notation and other small decorations). The whole mess is mounted on a poured acrylic + glitter background.

Ms. Codex 1063 is a 15th century book of hours produced in England, probably London, perhaps for a member of a religious confraternity or community. The musical notation in the Office of the Dead is unusual.

Braille Alphabet

Tactile writing system Created by: PICRYL Dated: 1824 Braille is named after its creator, Louis Braille, a Frenchman who lost his sight as a result of a childhood accident. In 1824, at the age of fifteen, he developed the braille code based on the French alphabet as an improvement on night writing. He published his system, which subsequently included musical notation, in 1829. The second revision, published in 1837, was the first binary form of writing developed in the modern era. The basic braille alphabet, braille numbers, braille punctuation and special symbols characters are constructed from six dots. These braille dots are positioned like the figure six on a die, in a grid of two parallel vertical lines of three dots each. From the six dots that make up the basic grid, 64 different configurations can be created.

okay i don't think anyone here is going to get it musically but let's just play spot the difference okay? we're looking at the dotted notes with a three note run in the middle

here we have two passages that are the exact same, except, they're notated differently. why you might ask? my best guess is someone poorly and inconsistently made edits to an original part. in order to play this line 'properly' you must have both variations memorized so you know which notes are the original. arrangers need to stop trying to make pieces easier by simplifying the range because more often than not it only confuses the sound and the performer
