Music Room
Welcome to the Music Room. I have been writing music for at least 25 years, and have now written more pieces that I can remember, many of which are perhaps best forgotten anyway. I write in a wide variety of styles (though my ambition has always been to write musicals), and this room contains a cross-section of my work, which should give some idea of the range of styles.
All the pieces in this room have been arranged for an AWE64/SoundBlaster Pro sound-card. I can't guarantee what they will sound like on other set-ups (though if you have General Midi they should be at least reasonable).
I also have separate pages for work-in-progress and for various miscellaneous pieces. These pages will be updated as I start on new pieces or update existing works.

Seven Short Preludes
These preludes were originally written for organ (manuals only -- I can't play pedals), but the MIDI versions have been transcribed for other instruments, to make them more interesting.

Musicals
The following pieces are all taken from 'Esther', a children's musical based on the biblical story. The whole show was supposed to be given a 1920s/1930s setting (which is hopefully apparent from the music). I stopped writing it (a) because I couldn't do the lyrics, and (b) because the whole concept (slightly jokey 'family' musical based on a biblical story) was too much like 'Joseph & His Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat'.
