Spin Doctor (game)

[edit]

About twenty years ago, Mom's computer – a PowerBook 140, I think – had a game called Spin Doctor. You can understand the difficulty in searching for that title! Do you happen to know who published it? —Tamfang (talk) 07:52, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It was published in 1993 by the Callisto Corporation, and is still available for the iPhone. See this article. Here is where to get the iPhone version. Tevildo (talk) 09:01, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
We have an article on the sequel, ClockWerx, incidentally. Tevildo (talk) 10:11, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I found that it was published by Callisto Corporation on multiple websites, http://macintoshgarden.org/author/callisto-corporation

Structure of the musical setting by Henry Lawes of the poem "Go Lovely Rose" by Edmund Waller: a question.

[edit]

Note: I mistakenly started by asking this question at the Humanities Reference Desk. This being a question about music it in fact belongs here. I know many people follow both Reference Desks. If you're one of them and you've already seen this question, my apologies. I've blanked the question there and reposted it here.

A question about the analysis of the well-known musical setting of "Go Lovely Rose". Here is the score of the song (at p. 21 of that PDF document). It sets to music the first two stanzas: melody line and unfigured bass. Do you agree with the following? The first half (m. 1 to m. 9) is in A minor. The second half starts in F major (m. 10 to m. 14) and finishes in D minor (m. 15 to m. 17). Thanks. Contact Basemetal here 20:21, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
