This what I’ve spent some of my evenings producing recently:
If you can’t see the video properly, visit the YouTube page.You can download the full resolution version in a variety of formats from archive.org. Watch it and come along to what I’m sure will be a great event.
This was, of course, why I was looking for a recording of Zadok the Priest in my previous post. I wasn’t able to find a free (as in beer) recording, so bought a royalty free recording which allowed me to use it in the way I wanted to in the licence. It is not, unfortunately, as good a recording as the one I already had. There are a couple of bits which are a little school-orchestra-y. It also seems that the original recording I had was an unusually slow one, with most of the ones I looked at from various pay-download sites coming in at over a minute shorter. This meant rejigging the video clips a bit to fit with the quicker runtime. But I think it still has the impact I wanted it to have.
I’ve spent some time this evening looking for a recording of Handel’s “Zadok the Priest” coronation anthem which has been released under a Creative Commons, Public Domain (or similar) licence which would allow me to use it in a derivative and non-commercial manner. I’ve mostly failed at this. (I have found some royalty free recordings but they cost to download and seem to have restrictive small-print attached to them.)
If you can direct me to a legitimate recording under a friendly licence, please help!
Some days, it’s not worth getting out of bed. The day begins, proceeds and ends without any great excitement with nothing special to mark it out from its neighbours. The treadmill (sometimes a literal treadmill) just continues. Not today. Today is marked by a special and probably unique event. I have won the first ever reader competition on Amy’s blog. Quite what I’ve done to offend Amy sufficiently that she should use that particular photo to illustrate the announcement of the winner, I have yet to discern. I will, of course, keep readers updated as to what the mysterious prize is. If anyone is really interested you can read the competition and entries here.
In other news, this blog is now syndicated on Planet Bitfolk, so hello to all the readers now subjected to my posts through that shiny and substantially new conduit.
