All the free Pdf Scores are in blue
Peters Ground
This was written as a commemoration of the death of a piano pupil and friend. Peter Prince, who I started teaching piano when he was in his 70’s from scratch. He got to grade 5 standard. But apart from this achievement he was a great chap full of interest and stories. Also for his wife sadly passed away as well Mazry Prince.
Piano Blues in E ish
A 12 bar blues with a strong chromatic Rhythmic bass.
Piano Sonata
Piano Sonata Movement 1
This was written during college, the piece should be much more rubato than the computer can do. In 5 4 this movement explores variations of the opening theme.
Piano Sonata Movement 2
This movement is much calmer Satie’ish.
Piano Sonata Movement 3 Scherzo
Wild arpeggiated scherzo.
Piano Sonata Movement 3 Trio
This is the sandwich filling.
Piano Sonata Movement 4
Closing argument.
Prelude No 1
Written in the early 90’s as an answer to playing a lot of Bach.
Prelude No 2
More tune full perhaps. A bit romantic.
Psaltery piece for Piano
This was a little knurdling tune that I created on my Psaltery hence the title. I then expanded it into a much more substantial piece.
Pulse
Experimental Piece about rhythmic patterns. Minimilist.
Quiet Piece 4 Emma
I wrote this about my dog Emma, who was mad in the beginning. But lived with us for 14 years or more. She had to be put down in 2008 a bit traumatic. This piece is a little bit of her nature, including her scratching. Which found its way into some other pieces of the time.
Quiet Piece for piano
A duet that has been transcribed for various brass duets.
Ragtime 3
A ragtime based on a chord circle that I liked to use in the past, it allowed me to write a Piece that went its own way through keys.
Redemption for Piano
This is a great crescendo of a piece, in 5 4. It gradually swells throughout the piece.
Rhondo Minuet
A gentle Rhondo and Minuet together, in 3 4.
Rhythm No 26
An old piece that tried out different rhythm version. This is the only one that worked. Not a great piece but an interesting experiment from the past.
Roy s Jig piano version
A jig for Roy MacIntosh, a friend and local singer songwriter.
Roy s Waltz
Same chap, here is a Scottish waltz based on the same theme.
Salutation Jig
Written in the old Salutation pub, now the Boathouse. In Anstruther. This is a bit wild must have been a stormy night.
Sarabande for Debbie
Written in the Ship Pub, Anstruther. (notice a theme playing out here). Debbie was the barmaid for most of the writing sessions at the time. This Sarabande is like the ticking of a clock, with implied melodies.
