Now Using Sibelius Scorch for Vocalises

June 12, 2009 By Ian Sidden

Head’s up: sorry, but this feature doesn’t work any more. I was using a WordPress plugin that’s no longer being supported, and I don’t have the programming chops to do it myself.

Being a new Sibelius user (as well as new self-hosting website manager), I have been exploring the features of Sibelius 5 with relish. Now, I am pleased to be able to post the vocalises in both .pdf form and as Sibelius files within Sibelius Scorch.

Scorch is a browser plugin for all major browsers (IE, Firefox, Opera, Safari…alas not Chrome yet though) that allows users to read .sib files and hear them played back to them via MIDI, transpose them, and alter the tempo.

To use this feature, you must download and install the plug-in from Sibelius here.

I will be slowly but surely retroactively altering the older vocalises to use Scorch.

Premiere: Frédégonde

Here’s one I’ve been looking forward to for awhile. Tonight at Opernhaus Dortmund, we’re premiering Frédegonde for the first time in Germany. It’s a work inspired from the early history of the Merovingians in what is now France and the ongoing feud between two of the queens, Brunhild and Frédegonde. The work was composed by […]
