This piece was written in 1942, after Copland had spent some time in Cuba on a vacation. It was originally a two-piano piece, and later turned into an orchestral piece. His friend Leo Smit - who played this piece along with Copland - at the 20th anniversary of the American League of Composers event, is the arranger of this piece for solo piano.

Tchaikowsky Op. 71a "The Nutcracker" Suite (complete)

I found this midi file on the internet many years ago (Netscape era). 
I recently discovered it going through some old files, and decided to give it the treatment it deserves, as the musicianship is first rate. 

I have no idea who the musicians are, but maybe one of them will find this  and leave some comments some day :-)

The image contains a snapshot of my "recording Session" on the DAW, with some of the relevant plugins used for a session like this.

"Invitation" Bronisław Kaper (anonymous midi file)

Debussy Children's Corner (1906)

Written for his daughter Chou-Chou. Shout out to Clementi in the title, as she would have probably had to study Clementi's 'Gradus ad Parnassum' piano exercises as part of here piano teacher's regimen.

Your Secret is Safe With Me

Song I wrote many years ago after being on the road for a few years, and playing lots of Latin and Jazz

It Happened In Rio

This is one of many songs I wrote, working in bars in Northern Ontario on the road  1983 - 1986. Busy time in music - I was home 4 weeks a year.

This song needs lyrics and I forgot mine from so long ago, so if anyone wants to write some, feel free!

I can do a complete arrangement with vocals, guitars, piano, organ, bass and drums.

A Country Song

This is a piano arrangement of the theme from the 1960 TV show "Mannix" starring Mike Connors. It ran for 5 seasons and was very popular at the time.

Theme from Mannix (1967)

The famous “I Love Lucy” theme song was written by composer Eliot Daniel (1908–1997) as a personal favor for producer Jess Oppenheimer. Daniel was not credited for the music because he was at the time under an exclusive contract to Twentieth-Century Fox Film Corporation.

I Love Lucy And She Loves Me

Here's Lucy is an American sitcom starring Lucille Ball. The series co-starred her long-time comedy partner Gale Gordon and her real-life children Lucie Arnaz and Desi Arnaz Jr. It was broadcast on CBS from 1968 to 1974. It was Ball's third network sitcom, following I Love Lucy (1951–57) and The Lucy Show (1962–68).

The score to this has never been released so I did a transcription of it.
