More Music

Earlier today I was checking the stats on this site. There have been over a thousand downloads of songs here this month alone. That’s a new monthly record. FYI. I encourage everyone to download these songs and share them.

My hope is that one or more of them will be played on one of those raves you see in a Nordic Noir TV show. I better start adding more thumps to the music now.

Some of these songs are my own, some are not. But I did use the very same notes as those used by Bach and Beethoven.

All of these chorales can be played at the bottom of the page, or one by one at https://johnsthewritestuff.com/101-bach-chorales/

Mood music (not sure what mood though!)

Happy Wednesday

Here is something nobody knows: I have a photogenic memory, which means I always look good in my own mind. And here are some new songs you might remember, with a new twist:

Does this sound familiar?

It used to sound like this:

Here is the bass line from chorale number 92, in .wav format.

Back to Basics

Here is the Bass Line from Bach’s Chorale Number 92 “Sink Not Yet My Soul to Slumber.” As you can hear, you don’t actually need a bass instrument to play a bass line.

Here is something you don’t hear every day.

This ditty starts with a chromatic line of music. It is more of an exercise in chromaticism than anything else. I have always been very fond of the chromatic scale, and vice versa. You might say I am a “Chromantic.” Or you might not.

(I would just like to know why I keep burping bananas, but I haven’t eaten any recently.)
