by Bob OrdHearing the news over one Christmas period about the plight of the Romanian people, I was reminded of a Romanian air that I learned from my Guitar teacher over twenty five years ago.
This air I have arranged for wind quartet and it forms the central part of this waltz. |

by G AdamsThis one started with three flute sounds, hence the title.
Part 1 of this piece uses two voices on echo which I find can create more interesting bass lines. The rest is straightforward but the programming style a little chaotic (as usual). |

by Jim RedfarnI was really referring to the composer Steve Reich, rather than Adolf. Certainly there's no hint of Wagner! The piece is made up of small sections with instruments going out of sync, or playing in conflicting time signatures. AMPLE seems ideal for this sort of thing. In the real Reich things change much more slowly and subtly, but I'm an impatient man.

by Roy AtkinsComposed by: Henry PurcellStrike the Viol' & 'Such a Blessing' I am a British expatriate living in the Netherlands. 1989 marked the 300th anniversary of the Golden Revolution, when William of Orange left Holland to claim the throne of England and with his wife Mary reigned for many years. The tercentenary, which ended on 1st July 1989, was celebrated with numerous cultural events linking the two counties. Many of the events featured the music of Henry Purcell, the composer to the Royal Court of W&M. These pieces are part of a suite written to celebrate Queen Mary's 33rd birthday in April 1694.

by Paul HibbertThe rhythm is all wrong in this song compared to what I had intended when it was first written on guitar. I may get round to correct it when I am more sure about what I am doing with Ample but in the meantime it will have to stand as it is now... Sorry!!!

by K HarridenceComposed by: Sidney BechetThis piece uses the pre-programmed chord system from AMPLINEX 003 and is a direct transposition of a sheet music original for clarinet and guitar.
The chord line, entered in Notepad, was very easy to enter despite the need to enter a couple of additional chords and to add '-1:' to each one to prevent octave changing problems. |

by Fred BridgesComposed by: Robert SchumannPoem by Heinrich Heine & Fred Bridges Vocal line' version recorded I sing for pleasure, and a major use I have for my Music 5000 is in learning new songs. Playing your own accompaniment is difficult for anything but the simplest music, but this allows me to learn complicated works. It has the edge on tapes, as you can change tempo and transpose for other voice types. My example is a simple one, the first of Schumann's Dichterliebe, using a simple 'voice', to show the principle. Strict tempo is best for learning, and the 'performance' option is obviously just an indication.
You would normally sing this from sheet music, but the words option is useful if you don't possess it. Fred Bridges |
