Theme

by Bruce Goatly

The melody for this dates back to 1964, the piano arrangement to Feb. 1970. Being only a very inaccurate pianist, when I bought a Music 500 system I leapt at the chance to translate this, one of my favourite own pieces, into a form I could listen to without having to suffer my own errors and dragooning someone else into playing the solo part. Upgrading it for the Studio 5000 was a problem because I had defined a very pleasant "soft piano" instrument that I couldn't find a way of making on the 5000. So I settled for good ol' Upright. But "mix1" is fun.
