by G H RichardsonThere is nothing exceptional about this piece. It is a simple little tune which I wrote some forty years ago as a piano piece and which, through the miracle of AMPLE, I have arranged as a violin melody with piano accompaniment. After playing it at various speeds and with different instruments (cello, orchestra, flute etc.) I came to the conclusion that it was best in its simplest version at a meandering pace - hence its title "Strollin'".
The 'piano' accompaniment still leaves a lot to be desired, and I shall continue my experimentation in the search for a more realistic sounding piano. G H Richardson |

by Karl HarridenceThe melody line (part1) of this piece was written by myself and some friends at junior school, and was originally entered in the 'Nationwide Carol Competition' under the title of "The Christmas Story".
Finding it whilst clearing out a folder recently I decided to try some experiments with it in AMPLE. The drum rhythms and accompaniment are simple in concept and 'pop' based but surprisingly they fit quite well considering the origins of the piece. Perhaps someone would like to change it back to a carol! |

by Philip JonesThis piece grew out of experiments with echoes |

by R BettisIn some ways I'm a little ashamed of this piece...
Musically it lacks structure; it is really only a vehicle for the "effects" instruments 'chopper', 'shot' and 'heart'. The musical content is 'cobbled' together in a very haphazard manner (the 'part..'s are best left in the dark). I suppose I could claim that this is a demonstration of the superiority of AMPLE over conventional music notation for certain tasks. None of the parts use the BAR word and none could really get away with it; most use repeated phrases of varying lengths. There are a lot of volume level changes, again with no regular lengths. Finally, in the 'heartbeat' of part3c the note length is changed gradually using the COUNT of a FOR()FOR loop. It would be nice to think that this 'modern' approach to music was the result of much thought & calculation, but I must confess that virtually all of it (note lengths, number of repeat phrases, 'fade' times etc.) is purely the result of trial and error, until it sounded okay to me. So, I'm fairly happy with this. It isn't "easy listening" but then again neither is its subject (and I have gone for the "Full Metal Jacket" and not the "Rambo" approach to warfare). And, if nothing else, it IS a vehicle for those effects... C. Richard Bettis 1988 --------------------------------------- A Yoftunes Project <'|'> - |

by Chris PercivalFirst movement I composed and converted this music to AMPLE in one day! I composed it on my Casio HT-3000 synthesiser and then converted it to run on the Music 5000. I think it needs a main tune put on top of the backing but I purposely left it out so I could play the keyboard with it. There is also no rhythm because I used the keyboard's percussion. I am going to make a tape of it so I can multi-track as many parts as I want but I must be careful not to overdo it.
If anybody has any helpful ideas for my composition then please get in touch through AMPLINEX. Finally, I shall continue with my suites and also continue to send them to AMPLINEX. (c) Chris Percival (age 13) 3/3/88 |

by Robin JohnsonComposed by: Antonio VivaldiFrom Gloria My daughter is singing the solo part for this at school, so I thought I'd test my ability to have a go at what I learned from the AMPLE Nucleus Programmer Guide. The programs give options to hear the full music, or just the accompaniment, or in the piece with 2 solo parts, to have one or the other.

by Riaan Aspeling & Johan RaubenheimerThis piece of music was originally written in BBC BASIC. We wrote a BASIC program to transcribe the music into AMPLE format, loaded that into a Music 5000, and added some extra voices.
This is what it sounds like NOW! |

"Nun freut euch, lieben Christen g'mein" It was originally programmed in AMPLE BCE, and has recently been converted to AMPLE Nucleus. I have tried to give some impression of reverberation by the use of the special effect "Echo". Others will be able, I am sure, to do better! Tim Holgate |

by Leslie WhalleyBased on Purcell's New Ground This piece started out as a straight transcription of a keyboard piece by Purcell called "A New Ground". I added extra parts which gave it a blues sound. In doing this the ground bass suggested further variations, which I am now working on. So let me issue a challenge: Who can write the best variation. Any offers?
