Music

Original compositions

Vocal arrangements

Number 5
Beware the unusual key signature (B flat, E flat, C sharp, F sharp): this is the Hungarian minor scale on G.
This piece is rather somber, with contrapuntal, Bach and Romantic influences.
Listen to an earlier version (ogg file, 4Mo)
Number 4
Little aria. Key signature: B flat, F sharp, G sharp (Lydian minor scale on D).
Number 3
Tonal piece using the Arabic scale in a classical setting (key signature: G sharp, D sharp).
Listen to the first few bars (ogg file)
Number 2
Easy to listen, a play on the flexibility of the blues scale.
Number 1
Somewhat reminiscent of rag-time, with a lot of modulations.
Number 0
Among my first; markedly more basic and romantic.
Number -1
First half-decent piece, an unfinished boogie.

Copyright: I reserve all rights on these pieces.

Note: for the pieces with unusual key signatures, the accidental convention is still the usual one, namely, accidentals keep for the duration of one bar.
For these arrangements of well-known songs, I tried to find a good compromise between easy-to-sing and musically interesting.
