40 pieces of original music have been posted to my composers page at the American Music Center. This includes 7 scores (for various ensembles), 18 contemporary jazz tunes and extended pieces, 7 tunes exploring Appalachian and Celtic fiddle traditions (Roots Music), and 8 tunes I describe as jazz-traditional hybrids.
This selection of music covers a lot of ground: old-timey fiddle tunes, rags, blues, waltzes, ballads, sambas, tangos, contemporary jazz, and pieces that explore New Music directions. Theres even a jazz lullaby! I consider this selection to be representative of my work.
Here's a link to my AMC page -- http://www.amc.net/RogerMAldridge At the AMC page, click on the Compositions tab (above the picture) and scroll down the list of scores and tunes. Click on the name of a piece to see the background information Ive written about it. The PDF files contain a score or leadsheet and the MP3 files are demo recordings. The music and recordings can be downloaded to your computer.
Demo recordings are being gradually added to my AMC page. My goal is to eventually have recordings for all 40 pieces.
All of my music at the American Music Center is intended to be USED and is available without charge. If you find something that you like, please work with it and perform it. Of course, give credit to the composer....and tell others about it. Hearing from musicians who discovered my music and are performing it is appreciated.
