Longer Pieces

The pieces of music on this page are longer in length, and arranged for different instruments. Scores for them all are available from the store, for a small(ish) price. I've put mp3s of each of them here so that you can hear what they're meant to sound like. These are computer-generated mp3s, so you need to use your imagination a bit in places. Bagpipe solos are particularly nasty. All the same you do get an impression of what I had in mind when I wrote them. I would recommend listening through decent speakers or headphones. I've also put some notes for some pieces that you can understand their background.

As well as a music score, the album "Farewell to the Battlefields" is available as a CD or for downloading. See the Store for details.
