| 4th Impro. on changes of 'All the things you are' |
| As my earlier version of Variations on the changes of 'All the things you are' seem to arouse some interest, I thought I would provide a couple more choruses along the same lines. |
| A Gentle Touch |
| A little romantic piano doodling. |
| Bernie's Blues |
| A few choruses in the blues idiom, illustrating a few of the many harmonic variations available. |
| Bernie's Bounce |
| A little piano solo in the 'swing' idiom, not much heard these days. |
| Catriona |
|
| Don't run away |
| After I had written this, I felt that the middle section had an unintentional but fleeting resemblance to a well known opera, does anyone else agree? |
| Doodle 38 |
| A short piece of piano 'doodling'. I don't feel it justifies a real title. |
| Fionnula |
| This piece features the flute, and as a point of interest, the flute part was played 'live' on my Roland Synth. |
| Footnote |
| A piano piece based roughly on a slow Baion tempo, just something a little different. |
| Happy Birthday Take 1 |
| I thought I would have a little fun with the traditional 'Happy Birthday' song. This version is in fours, part 2 follows in 3/4. |
| Happy Birthday Take 2 |
| 'Birthday' in usual waltz time. |
| High Flyer |
|
| Impro Body and Soul |
| Another jazz classic which is an ideal vehicle for improvisation. I hope I have done it justice. |
| Impro on changes 'Our love is here to stay' |
| Just another indulgence in my favourite musical pastime. |
| Impro on changes of Have You Met Miss Jones? |
| One of my favourite standards, with a testing middle section. A good exercise for budding jazz enthusiasts. |
| Impro on changes of 'Summertime' |
| This one represents a bit of a challenge, in a minor key with some subtle harmonic shifts. |
| Impro on changes of 'Tea for Two' |
| 'Tea for Two' has a pleasant set of harmonies, and a good vehicle for
a spot of improvisation. |
| Impro. on changes of 'Green Leaves of Summer' |
| 'Green leaves of Summer' was one of the main themes from the film 'The Alamo', and is another ideal candidate for an improvisation' |
| Impro. on the changes of 'Here's that Rainy Day' |
| Another improvisation based on a really lovely old standard. |
| Impro: "Deep in a dream" |
| This is a beautiful old romantic song recorded by Sinatra,etc. Well worth a listenFind it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_dWa_cbrEE |
| Improvisation on Fly Me To The Moon |
|
| Improvisation on This Masquerade |
| This Masquerade is perhaps one of the lesser known Carpenters songs, but it has a subtle blend of harmonies which I like. The result is rather wistful, but a nice change - (IMO of course). If anyone is interested, the original Carpenters version is available on YouTube. |
| Knee Deep |
| A short piece of piano nonsense. |
| Lake Echo |
| A little more traditional mood music. |
| Let's go ! |
|
| Misty Mountain |
| A spot of mood music. |
| Morning |
| A little mood music for piano. |
| Musical Moment |
| My daily 'doodles' on the piano usually end up in the bin, but on this occasion, I recorded the first few moments and felt the result was worth posting. |
| Musing |
|
| Pantonic |
| Sadly, the use of interesting harmonic sequences in modern popular music seems to be rather lacking, so I tried to remedy the matter with this little offering. |
| Quirky |
| I felt it was about time I made another contribution so here is an experiment with unusual harmonic sequences in waltz time. |
| R2 |
| The start of a full length piano rhapsody piece which I got bored with and so decided to finish after 2 1/2 minutes. |
| Rivendell |
| Another little item for piano ---- |
| Shady Lanes |
| Another spot of mood music - I tend to run out of titles for my little items, any suggestions would be welcome. |
| Shoreline |
| You've read the description - here's the music !! |
| Sunset |
| Another little offering in the 'mood music' tradition. |
| Village Green |
| A little light orchestral piece. |
| What's this? |
| Another minor offering from a slightly deranged musical brain. |
| Which Way |
| This is halfway between and original item and an improvisation on a well known drinking song. |
