REPERTOIRE / LIBRARY

Over the past two years i have transcribed a considerable amount of material from many of my personal favourite recordings.  The two main objectives being to have a unique and exciting performance pad (for up to eight players) consisting of (what i consider to be) the most fantastic compositions ever written, and also as a challenge and education to myself in accurately transcribing and scoring out this work.  In many cases I have corresponded with the composer in order to gain a deeper understanding of each piece.

I am currently in the process of obtaining relevant publishing permissions from the copyright holders of the below compositions.  Therefore, some of my personal library of transcriptions/arrangements is very soon to be made for sale at £19.95p per title (delivered via email as a PDF).

Tacet-Sheets are included when instrumentation is less than eight musicians.  All parts clearly indicate tempo, count-in, dynamics, articulation, phrase-markings, rehearsal letterings, and similar.  Excluding 'loosely based' versions, fidelity and accuracy (to the original recording) in the highest order was applied to melody, harmony and rhythm factors.  Sale does not include a full score (because 2/3 scores where often used per arrangement and also many graphics were derived from non-musical programs).  Due to the fact that some of these charts often contain a considerable amount of information, the page number of each individual part may well exceed (typical) 3/4 x sheets.  Also, please note that some of these arrangements are designed specifically for the highly skilled professional musician (or aspiring student).  Great consideration has been given to making sure all parts are clearly and beautifully presented.  Please feel free to contact me should you have any further questions.
