Fanfare

I went through some 20 year old Finale files that I had salvaged from my studying years. Found this fugue that I wrote in my early 20s. I was happy to discover that I still could read and convert these files into midi. I fiddled with the midi data in Logic, applying tempo changes and dynamics. 

I'm using the simple digital piano that is included with Logic, it's pretty average sounding but it sound way better than the general midi stuff we had in the 90s. 
I'm posting this mostly for sentimental/nostalgic/personal reasons. I don't have access to a string quartet so this self-playing piano will have to do. I don't expect this to be very interesting for the general public.

For anyone who wonders what a fugue is (and actually kept reading this far):

A fugue is a contrapunctal composition, i.e a piece where all the voices are of equal importance (in this particular piece there are 4 voices). The voices take turn to present the main theme, and any contrasting theme throughout the piece. Extra points are given if you insert variations on the theme(s) such as mirroring it, or presenting it in half or double speed, using it or segments of it to modulate etc. J.S Bach is considered the undisputed master of this compositional technique.
I was for some reason more or less obsessed with counterpoint for a pretty long time, and started in my early teens trying to write in this style. It is like assembling the most intricate puzzle and a single measure could often take me a whole day to write.

J.S.Bach - Allegro [BWV 998]

Words by Charles Earl Bowles, a.k.a Black Bart the Po8.

I've labored long and hard for bread,
For honor, and for riches,
But on my corns too long you've tread,
You fine-haired sons of bitches.

Left at the scene of a stagecoach robbery in 1877

I have labored long and hard

Improvisation over a Swedish Traditional song
---------------------------------------
Ack, Värmland, du sköna, du härliga land,
du krona bland Svea rikes länder!
Och komme jag än mitt i det förlovade land,
till Värmland jag ändå återvänder.
Ja, där vill jag leva, ja, där vill jag dö.
Om en gång ifrån Värmland jag tager mig en mö,
så vet jag att aldrig jag mig ångrar.

Ack Värmeland Du Sköna [Swedish Traditional]

Världens Gång
-------------------

Havet välta, stormen ven,
vågorna rullade asklikt grå.
"En man är vräkt över bord, kapten!"
Jaså.

"Ännu kan ni rädda hans liv, kapten!"
Havet välte, stormen ven.
"Ännu kan en lina den arme nå!"
Jaså.

Vågorna rullade asklikt grå.
"Nu sjönk han, nu syns han ej mer, kapten!"
Jaså.
Havet välte, stormen ven.
