Didnt know where to put this question. I will try here.
I need a midi version of "La Villa Strangiato" by RUSH. My goal: convert it to notation software ( I have the awesome Sibelius notation software). I do this all the time, works great. I have a string rock group starting ( we all play with Trans-Siberian), and we want to do this tune.
The problem? I have found some good midi versions of "La Villa", but when I import to Sibelius, the timing is all screwed up ( I.E. something in 7/8 will be in 4/4; the notes are fine, but the meters are totally wrong). Basically, whoever did the midi version didnt care about the meters, it is mainly 4/4, when the original version changes meters often. Of course, a sheet music version would be fine too, but the midi would be much better, so I can edit.
Does anybody know where I can get a good midi file of this (and other) tunes? All I need is the Bass Part, the cellist can't improvise, I know the guitar parts. We will hardly be doing it note for note, but I need a guide for the cellist, and don't want to spend days writing it note by note.
One more question: does anyone have some ideas of Rock tunes that would sound hot with strings? I am thinking mainly instrumentals, stuff like "La Villa" that would work with strings. Thanx, amigos.
