Classical Guitar Part for Handel's "Oh sleep, why dost thou leave me?"
I love doing "classical covers", and this is my typical workflow:
1. See if a Printed Score and/or MIDI file are available:
- Web Search (without quotes): "Oh sleep, why dost thou leave me? handel midi"
- First search result is fine
- Also download a score PDF if available, or make one from the MIDI
- Open `osleep.mid` in Logic Pro X
- Play it and watch the score to see that it's ok, which it is
- Edit as desired to make it look and sound better (set the key, choose instruments, add effects, etc.)
2. Learn the music like a guitar player :-)
- Switch the bass to treble clef and transpose it up two octaves to make it look like a guitar part
- Play the bass along with the playback until I more or less have the structure (use loops to scrub tricky parts)
- Write out the chord chart (by hand)
- Play along in free form on guitar
- Converge toward a nice guitar accompaniment for vocalist and bass
