Tunes by Eric Black
In March, 2015, the Muse started whispering (singing?) into my ear, and tunes have been pouring out. More than 400 so far as of November, 2019.
Here are some of the ones that I think are good enough to share. The ones listed in boldface are the ones I think are worth checking out first.
I hope that they are original, and are not just being pulled out of forgotten memories in my subconcious. Please help me identify anything that sounds familiar to you!
Each tune has a PDF file with the score, and an audio sample MP3 file. The audio is twice through the tune so you can see how it comes back around to the top.
MANY APOLOGIES for the robot piano player. I don't play piano, but I'm hoping to have some of my many musician friends sit in and record these tunes.
Most of the names are meaningless, just a temporary mnemonic to help me keep them straight. All the generically named tunes are available to be named (hint, hint!) The number in parentheses is the sequence in which they were composed and transcribed, starting at 0001 (“Starting Over”).
