My Song "Angie G (Eulogy)" At TuneCore

This is my first composition published at TuneCore, "Angie G (Eulogy)" (TuneCore removed the spaces and capital G, dunno why).. in the future, "available at an online store near you".. this was originally "Eulogy for my Mother", written on a Yamaha Digital Grand about a week after getting it, written for horns and strings. I ported it into the computer, used Cakewalk to change it to guitar and piano, then I renamed it for my singer friend, Angie, who liked it best of all my compositions. It's about two people who can't quite get in sync - the two instrumental parts never come together as a result..

The album title should actually read "Little Journeys", which is my homemade CD of my first five compositions (in order of creation): 1.Awakening 2.Sky 3.Eulogy 4.Angie G 5.Gone
These were all written in three weeks, then I spent about four months getting the proper MIDI to USB cable, porting them into Cakewalk, then exporting them as MP3 and WAV files. That took longer than writing the music originally! Everyone, including Yamaha, was out of the connecting cables - I had to wait for one from the factory in Malaysia.. (Doh!)

Original Composition: Gone (for Piccolo)

Written for a musician friend named Mandi who was leaving town, and who plays flute, recorder and pennywhistle. This used the piccolo on my Yamaha Digital Grand. When she said it sounded like film music, I put it on a video I made for them called "A Year in Pine Mountain"

Original Composition: Awakening (Midi Version)

Awakening: This was my first composition, done in three hours the day I got my Yamaha Digital Grand synthesizer. This is the original midi file from the keyboard with no alterations, just as I played it myself, errors intact.. I've never had music lessons and can't read or write music notation. I think I was maybe a little too excited by all the instruments available (650 total).

Original Composition: Eulogy (For Angie)

Originally written for the passing of my mother, my 3rd composition, done 2 weeks after getting my Yamaha Digital Grand synthesizer. I renamed it for a rock singing girlfriend who thought it was my best composition. It originally was done with strings and horns, then I ported it into Cakewalk and changed the instruments into guitar and piano so it could be easily performed onstage by a duet.
