Metrobolist
Introduction I just came across this recently and wondered what it was. Turns out it is the original title of David Bowie's "Man Who Sold The World" which is a great album, but I am not sure of the real reason for this reissue apart from making money.

And So It Begins
[This is the first scene in a musical I've wanted to compose for the Nativity for quite some time now. Above you will find my thoroughly inadequate rendition of the scene. Below you will see my shorthand system of notation for melodies & chords. Numbers reference the steps of the diatonic major scale where the Roman numeral I is for the root & alterations are signified by É or #. Eighth note durations are indicated by ' with sixteenth durations indicated by x & sustained notes by a long dash. Measures are separated by |. Anything in italics that is not a part of the actual song are stage directions or explanatory notes. I hope you enjoy.]

Above you will find my thoroughly inadequate rendition of the scene. Below you will see my shorthand system of notation for melodies & chords. Numbers reference the steps of the diatonic major scale where the Roman numeral I is for the root & alterations are signified by É or #.
