Here’s the full screen view, in “pages across view” of Part 1 of the Messiah, which is included as a extra download when you buy Notion. That said, as it is a Notion document, you can certainly cut and paste a range of the song and paste it into a new document and add text to those voice parts. The Messiah is included in the “Notion Score Library”Ībout the Messiah…it doesn’t have text in the voice parts, so if you want those, you may have to add them…and it ships with all of Part 1 and Part 2 as separate files. In my., look at “Get All Content” with Notion 6. This will send you a zipped file of Notion files (all in the Public Domain) that can be edited as necessary. Then follow the links to “Get All Content” and then add the “Notion Score Library” in the “Extra Downloads” area. I didn’t know about these included files, and you can find them in your account at my. If you are a director needing a rehearsal or performance tool for the Messiah, Notion would instantly pay for itself. You can buy the full expansion pack of sounds (currently $299–which is a bargain compared to other sound packs from other vendors). Remember…Notion comes stock with sounds from the London Symphony Orchestra. I have interacted with Chris for a long time (I get the opportunity to try Beta updates for Notion), and it was great to actually see him (he’s in the UK, so he doesn’t make many music education conferences here in the USA).Īs I was watching the presentation, Chris mentioned that Notion includes a number of resources, including the FULL MESSIAH. Cook discussed Persons’ conducting component (great for college programs). Chris introduced Notion, integration with Studio One, and the live performance capabilities of Notion Dr. It featured Chris Swaffer, a developer from PreSonus, which makes Notion) and Dr. This morning, a PreSonus presentation from ASME 2017 showed up in my feed, and I watched it. I know that many groups perform the Messiah this time of year, and would benefit from a digital accompaniment track. I was fortunate in my last few years as a high school director that our district had added a string program, so the school’s orchestra provided accompaniment for that song in our concert (it was a great way to involve everyone). When I was directing high school choir, I eventually added an annual goal to sing one movement from Handel’s Messiah with my advanced choir at our Holiday Concert.
