Michael's Music and Memories
Here
you will find some of my arrangements for piano of popular songs of the
last eighty or so years(swing era and on), together with some of my own
compositions.
All files are in MIDI format. I have tried to keep these
pieces and arrangements within the capability of the good intermediate
pianist, and they are posted here for you either to listen to,
or download and play yourself if you wish. If you do want to
play them yourself, you can either convert the files into sheet music
using one of the commercial software programs(a good basic
freeware program is
Notation Player (www.notation.com), or if
you want something more resourceful, although not so
straightforward, you might like
to consider LIME which can be downloaded on a
fully-functional, free-trial basis from www.cerlsoundgroup.org),
or alternatively, if you contact me at the e-mail address below
specifying which files you are interested in, I can produce them in PDF
format for you. All my files are step-sequenced, which
means they should convert accurately.
My plan is to add more pieces to this site as time goes by, but as this
is just a hobby of mine, I am not working to any specific timetable.
If you like what you find here, however, I hope you will
check
back from time to time. If you have any comments or
suggestions, you can contact me at jazza942-michaelsmusic@yahoo.co.uk.
