My
computer is basically a tool I use to express
my creativity; from editing photos I have taken
and building web-pages to creating music. In autumn
2002 I started using a program I had wanted to
learn for a long time; a program that could write
sheet music and play back what I wrote. The music
here on this page is the result of me tinkering
with the program and trying to get to grips with
the ins and outs. Since I didn't have a Midi keyboard
and therefore had to write every bit of the sheet
music myself, I soon realised the great disadvantage
(and waste of time) this was and I then put the
program aside. My plan was to buy a Midi keyboard
and continue the learning process, since with
a keyboard one can get the program to write what
is played on the keyboard and therefore bypass
some or most of the manual writing. It's 2005
when writing this, and I have not yet got a keyboard....but
it's still on my 'wish list' :-) |

The
program I used for the music files I made can
create a page with complete sheet music ready
to be played on any computer. To be able to see
the sheet music and to hear the music being played
on your computer you need a small 'plug-in' called
SCORCH. You can either download
it directly from the program maker's web-site
using the link to the left or open any of my music
files and click on the provided link at the bottom
of each page. |

Link to download
Scorch.
|
|
|
| |
You
only need to install this plug-in once and the
download is only a few seconds. Alternatively you can download
full installation of the plug-in for all main
browsers like Netscape, Firefox, Mozilla, Opera
and Internet Explorer. Click on the link to the
left, and follow the instructions on the Scorch web-site. |

To
play the music you just need to have your speakers
turned on, click on the link to ech music file
and when the page is opened, click the play button
on the bar (under the music title). |

First Try Theme Mp3 |
'First Try' was my very first arrangement, when I was still trying to get to grips with the buttons and menues, and it totally ignores some of the basic rules for music notation simply because I had not yet found out how to change the key! The arrangement is based on a short tune from a Norwegian children song, here is the tune. |

And here is the arrangement I made from this 4 bar tune. |

Minuet Mp3 |
This piece is a minuet for panpipes and harp, and is the only piece so far that I can take full credit for. |

Happy Birthday Mp3 |
And this piece is a well-known song in a different arrangement. |

SCORCH, sheet music with complete scores, which can be played back on the computer. The music however, is not as good as the Mp3 files, so for the best music experience, please play the Mp3 files above: |
