Search tool of the month
Today I learned about Musipedia from two of my colleagues. Sheer brilliance. It’s basically a Wikipedia-esque encyclopedia of tunes (classical, popular, and folk, plus hymns and national anthems), and you can search it by humming the tune you want to identify. I haven’t had a chance to try the latter feature (I need a microphone for my computer), but you can also search it by picking the tune out on a virtual keyboard or typing in the Parsons Code for the tune. I was sold on it when I tried the latter method and successfully found the "Va, pensiero" chorus from Verdi’s Nabucco, the Marseillaise, and the first couple of bars of the Pogues’ "Fairytale of New York." Best search tool ever! And you don’t even have to sing on key to make it work.
