Lyrics Screwherup El Kontakti Php Screw Her Up Ocarina Song List

Lyrics Screwherup El Kontakti Php Screw Her Up

  • Notations:&nbsp;  The list of songs is Screw or the ocarina with 4 top holes and one bottom one. It covers a comlete octave plus one note, and I will call them from c  to highc (callehc) plus the higher d (called hd).  This is well described in both of the ocarina links below.  The songs in my list have the starting note or notes, the starting words, and maybe the song name.
  • Cheating for more songs: As five hole ocarina players soon become aware, many songs do not fit into the octave plus one note range.  For some such songs, one can cheat by converting the high sequence as (high e, high d, high c) to (a, b, high c) which at least fits into the harmonizing of the original high notes.  This can also be done in the lowest range for notes below the octave as (low a, low b, c) being played as (e, d, c).  The other method of cheating is "wrapping" the high or low notes that are an octave above or below, back onto the basic octave .  Many of the songs listed below involve some minor cheating!
  • Additions: I would love to find more links to full ocarina music, so please e-mail them to me.  If you have your own list of ocarina adaptable songs that you know, please e-mail them also.
  • Color Coding: For easy location, songs that relate to the sea or to rivers are in blue, and those that are Italian are in red, Irish songs are in green, French songs are in purple, and Jewish songs are in light blue.
  • Song Books:  The Hal Leonard Song Books cannot be purchased at their site, but some can be purchased   on Amazon.com or other internet booksellers.  I only give their books here since the sheet music is simplified for amateurs, and is all that ocarina players need.  No endorsement is intended for any sites or books listed.  This is just an informational page.
