by C BorrillMy name is Colin Borrill and I am a music teacher in Hertfordshire. I have had a 5000 System for about a year now and use it for both teaching and my own work.
This short piece is intended to suggest something of the happy nostalgia sometimes felt when looking at old photographs. CB-8/89 |

by Bob OrdComposed by: VariousFour pieces named on title screen This was the name of a group of musicians that I was associated with in the early 70s. We took our name, from the name of a song written by King Henry VIII.
Many people do not believe that Henry wrote music, but he possessed many musical instruments and since he was the second son of Henry VII would, as was the custom, be sent to the Church for his education. Here I believe, he would learn the art of music. Enough of myself, on to the music. The first piece of music is Henry VII's "Pastime with Good Company" played upon a Descant, a Treble Recorders and a Bass Dulzaine. The Dulzaine is a quieter version of the Crumhorm, and was often shown in pictures playing along with Recorders, although none survive to the present day. Following the opening chorus, the verse is played by the Lute and Rebec. The Rebec, a bowed instrument with three strings has a rather nasal quality. Then the whole consort play the repeat. The second piece of music is "La Battaille" published in his book "Danserye" by Tielman Susato in 1551. Since the parts in the third section of this pavane echo one another, I have used Recorders and Dulzaines to make the contrast in sound. Schott publish this collection of dances in two books, reference numbers: BOOK 1 SCHOTT EDITION 2435 BOOK 2 SCHOTT EDITION 2436 The third piece of music is "Bockington's Pound" played on the Lute. The rather strange title refers to a wager made by Bockington, in which he was to swim in the Thames from Hampton Court to London Bridge. He lost the wager not due to his skill in swimming, but because he could not get Queen Elizabeth's permission to swim in the river. Finally another piece from Susato called "Bergeret Sans Roch" a Basse dance is played upon Crumhorns. I hope you enjoy the music and using the instrument definitions. Bob Ord |

by RobonkThis piece was written for two reasons:
1) To show Diccon Maude how to have a multi-timbral drum kit (see AMPLINEX issue 010 Questions and Answers) 2) To write an original tune. Most of the original stuff tends to be on the sad side, so here's a nice boppin' song. Robonk ~~~~~~ p.s. Not bad for 3 years old eh! |

by Jim RedfarnThis is a short program based on an extract from a traditional African piece originally played, sung and danced by members of the Lala Tribe from Zambia.
I have made the rhythms easier to grasp by staggering the starting points of the percussion instruments, and also by limiting the master drummer (part5a) to a repeating riff. Jim Redfarn |

by G H RichardsonA Peruvian interlude This started as an exercise in Latin American rhythm and having built up a reasonably attractive rhythm on 4 voices it seemed appropriate to fit a tune into it - almost any tune would have done since the rhythm is attractive enough itself. Choosing Panflute for the tunes was a happy accident and gives it a haunting aspect which reminded me of Peru and its hidden cities - hence the title. You will find that the rhythm forms a good base for almost any tune you care to put to it.
