A remixed and revised version of Dancing with Friends which I first published a year ago. This time with a Trancy beat at 128 bpm.

This track started out as something completely different. It's a story too long to tell..

Yet another remix with different drums

Another remix of my Blaydon Races Track

About 3000 years ago the Sea Peoples from somewhere in Western Europe migrated across the Mediterranean and caused the colllapse of most Bronze Age civilisations. This tone poem imagines a Hittite ship returning home to Asia Minor, as the crew discover the Sea Peoples have raided and destroyed their homes. The music begins with a prayer of thanksgiving to Abunapunte, the Hittite Goddess of the Sea in anticipation of the completion of a safe journey. But it would not turn out so.

A track based on Blaydon Races. This is named for two friends.

This music was inspired by happy memories of an old friend and colleague, who died recently. It brings to mind two incidents: an unsuccessful attempt to teach me to waltz during a night shift and a lovely weekend afternoon spent with her and another friend, CU, when I think I learnt to sing Blaydon Races. The music draws heavily on two traditional melodies: Blaydon Races and Waters of the Tyne. I used a version of Blaydon Races found on traditionalmusic.co.uk as a starting point for this arrangement. It also includes the melody of Waters of the Tyne , which I transcribed into G Major. (NOTE: THIS IS THE REMIXED VERSION)

This is a Symphonic poem that imagines a woodland scene in Summer as bright sunshine gives way to a rain storm
