Gorgeous Plate Engraving Pics

In a Facebook post today from Bärenreiter-Verlag, they shared some images of the good-ol'-days of real plate engraving that I think any modern computer music engraver/copyist/etc. will appreciate. I know I do. This comes from the golden-era of music publishing, folks! I share them here for long-term enjoyment just in case the above post/pictures disappear from Facebook.

Engraver Spotlight: David Stephen Grant

I was recently introduced to the composer/engraver David Stephen Grant, who shared with me a very lovely score he had composed and engraved using LilyPond. The score is done with my Ross music font (and accompanying stylesheet), complimented perfectly by the IM Fell English text font.

David shared with me some background to the score:

... "Overture to Bérénice" was actually used as an Overture to a modern theatre production of Racine's "Bérénice" that I composed and contributed sound design for. The music quickly moved from this "Baroque" atmosphere into more noisy electronic sound design, ...

Great job, David, and thanks for sharing this with us!
