Sheet Music
Here's a little jazz tune I wrote a while ago - its in 5/4 and a sorta fake 3 then 5 - called Laurentia. Think "Take Five" and almost "Blue Rondo a la Turk" I performed it in Spring of 05 with the Brown Crossroads Ensemble. Want to know what is (or rather was) Laurentia?
Here's a leadsheet for Laurentia in PDF in 3 keys:
Enjoy!

I Can't Listen To The Music On My Computer!
I have compressed some music files in AAC, otherwise known as MP4 format (file extension .m4a) and placed them inside of a quicktime movie. This format gives better quality at lower file sizes than MP3. AAC is becoming a standard due to the huge popularity of iTunes. An added plus is that the format is not owned by Microsoft, like Windows Media. If you can't play these files, chances are your player software is out of date. I suggest you go to apple.com and download the latest version of iTunes and/or Quicktime for either Mac or Windows. You should download this software anyway for watching video and listening to music on your computer and online.
If all else fails, and your browser plugin will not display the music files in your browser (or if you would like to download my music to disk), Right Click (Control-Click on a Mac with a one-button mouse) on the link to the file and select "Download Linked File As..." or its equivalent from the resulting contextual menu. This will download the file to a location you specify on your hard drive from whence you can then listen to it at your leisure.
But I don't Like Your Music!
I don't expect that everyone will like it. It is a bit strange. You are entitled to your own opinion - I would love to hear some constructive criticism. What do you think I should do to make my music more wikkid? What have I overdone? What sounds would you like to hear? However, please refrain from sending insulting emails calling me obscene and rude names for wasting your precious time listening to what you thought was the worst music ever. This really has happened before! Someone had too much time on their hands.
About Music Formats
MP3 and AAC files are generally between 1 and 5 MB, and will take between 3 and 10 minutes to download with a standard, 56K, dial-up modem.
MIDI files will download almost instantaneously, as they are only timed instructions for the sampler in your sound card (or your outboard MIDI sampler if you have one). Sound quality will vary with the quality of your synthesizer.
