Dear brethren,
i would like to sing the Gesellenreise by our brother Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in my lodge. I can sing it (though not professionally), but the piano part is just above my skills (would take months to learn, and then i couldn't even accompany myself). So im looking for a decent recording of just the accompanyment. There probably is a brother out there willing and able to play this music and create an mp3 from it. I would be very grateful for the help.
I tried to attach the sheet music (taken from the IMSLP library of public domain music). this is the version in G major. I just need three verses, not four as the lyrics in the sheet music suggest. on IMSLP there are also two versions in b-flat, which is way to high for me.
To get acquainted to this beautiful song, try this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wgl6DSRdGcE or search youtube, as there are many recordings from many different singers.
the lyrics are here: http://www.geocities.ws/andrewmb.geo/gesellen.html and there is an English translation available on that page as well.
This song is written to be used in the 2nd degree and supports the idea of the travels of the fellow craft through the world to apply what he learned as apprentice. it's been a steady part of the 2nd degree ritual in my lodge for as long as i am there (and probably years before that).
Thanks for helping a brother out.
