Click Track
You need to record your part using a click track, to keep our Online Orchestra together and in time. Simply download the click track below (right click on the player) and and play it through a set of headphones while you perform your part. For ensembles, the conductor can listen to the click track through headphones while they conduct.
There is a concert A at the beginning of the click track and then a 2-bar count-in before the piece starts. This count-in is indicated on each part.
Participants wishing to record a shorter version can record either the first half of the song (finishing at the end of bar 58) or the second half (starting at bar 59/letter D). Both of these versions start with a two-bar count-in.
Lead Sheet
The Lead Sheet contains the lyrics and chords and is suitable for individual singers and musicians wanting to read chords rather than notation. Don’t forget to download the pronunciation guide for the song’s Yugambeh words. You can also use this to create a part for your instrument if it doesn’t have its own part.
