    Nihil Nominis,

    That's too easy: Jubilate Deo.

    Is the second one Passer .... something?

    Are people really getting these cases from their cell-phone "auto-correct" features, or are they making them up?

    Chonak,

    I can vouch for mine, that they use the phone's "auto-correct" feature. Let me tell you, people in public give you weird looks when you're speaking Latin into your phone . . .

    Passer invenit (sibi domum)?

    It isn't really auto-correct, but voice to text, right?

    Nihil, as a proud supporter of the Butlerian Jihad, I must remind you of one of the chief commandments of the movement: "Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of the human mind."

    Granted, you are doing the reverse, but perhaps that out outcome was inevitable . . .

    Ditto, Clerget. (I know I'm in the minority here, but I think the extended TV version is better than the film version. Explains so much more of the backstory.)

    My favorite is the 4-hour version of the 1984 film with Kyle MacLaughlan, Patrick Stewart, Max von Sydow, and Jurgen Prochnow: a virtual who's who of the 1980s.

    Perhaps a Name That Hymn Tune Game?

  • francis

    here is one...

    you put the note names of the opening line or less or more, and we have to guess the hymn TUNE name...

    To help your transposing ability (and ease of typing), all melodies should appear in C major or A minor... of course, I am not giving you the rhythm to make it a little more challenging.

    e.g.

    E, E, F, E, D, G, G, A, C, C

    Can be simple (as above) for well known melodies, but try to stump us with those less known ditties!

    No, Mark. Sorry. The spaces didn't come out right for some reason. Try again:

    Well, it's a hymn tune, and it fit! "While by the sheep we watched at night" is the English translation of the traditional German carol. The tune is traditional, arranged by one Hugo Jungst. By coincidence, just happened across a choral arrangement last week—otherwise I would not have heard of it.

    But, okay:

    STUTTGART

    Now back to work!

    OK - guess this hymn tune:

    Jimmy Stewart won this one fair and square in a contest, but his no-good brother stole it. Now he wants it back - whether it is "old" or "new".

    Instead of note names, why not use solfege and not worry about the "key"?

    Mrs. Cooze - I assumed Francis was using the using the "European system" of Gregorian chant where "do" always equals "c" - no matter the actual pitch. (Dom Johner became much easier to read once I figured out that this was what he meant.)

    #4 AR HYD Y NOS

    #3 is killing me! It is almost identical to the melodic outline of MUNICH as I know it, but it's missing an extra repeated E that I'm accustomed to (pick-up to third full measure) and has one too many G's (beginning of third measure)—at least as I remember it. Anyone?

    The first two do also seem familiar—but I should be staring at Finale files right now! But I'm sure I'll be back—thanks to Stimson, JulieColl, francis, et al., for yet another excuse to procrastinate!
