21 compositions listed 
4th Impro. on changes of 'All the thi...
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.
Bernie's Blues
A few choruses in the blues idiom, illustrating a few of the many harmonic variations available.
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? 
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 of 'Green Leaves of...
'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...
Another improvisation based on a really lovely old standard.
Knee Deep
A short piece of piano nonsense.
Lake Echo
A little more traditional mood music.
Let's go !
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
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.
Shoreline
You've read the description - here's the music !!
