Almost there !

I'm entering the final phase of the posting of the basic sheet music/score library. All the files have been uploaded to our file server and I am now in the midst of coding the files so they can be posted for download. In all we now have 2,458 files now online with probably another 800 - 900 to go.

This isn't the end of the library, though. I still have another 2 or 3 thousand scores that have never been cataloged and those will be added in the next stage. However, this second stage will take a wee bit longer. So every time you log in there should be new scores and sheet music to look through.

If there is a particular score you are looking for, please leave a request in the 'Requests' Forum and I will do my best to accomodate you. You can also review that forum to see if there is anything you can contribute.

On a personal note, I've been trying to take time out to practice my new MIDI wind controller, the Akai EWI USB. It's a lot of fun to play, but I have to get used to new fingering techniques. I'll be elaborating more on this aspect of my music making in the near future. But suffice it to say that this instrument will 'knock the socks off' any wind instrument player. Stay tuned!!

That's it for now. Keep on enjoying your music in whichever way your heart desires! ;)

New Additions in the Download Area

Stage 2 of the score library has been completed, comprising of composer names from 'A' to 'H'. In all there are 1,572 files of sheet music and scores representing 72 composers' works. Not bad for a start! ;)

I will now be moving on and adding new composers in smaller batches so that the library will be expanded on a more regular basis.

Do you have friends who are interested in Classical Music too? Please tell them about this site so we can get the word out. The more we are able to build a community here, the more rewarding it will be for all. Remember, Hemingway's Studio isn't just about downloading... it's more about sharing... uploading files as attachments in the online forum or even just sharing a URL to some files you found helpful.

So, don't be shy. Join in !

I'm very happy that you came to my site. Keep well...

'Till next time,

Content Now Online

I have been able to work up the design and html & java code to handle the sheet music library. In the downloads area you will see that I have so far posted 300 downloads. It is a very time-consuming process, fraught with all sorts of pitfalls; so please bear with me as I work through the catalog. In all there are some 2,500 scores and MIDI files so I'm about 15% the way through.

Since I am working through the library alphabetically, it might take a while to get to your favourite composer. If you are looking for a specific score, please request it in the forums. If I have it or can get it, it will most definitely be posted for you.

I am always open to new scores and sheet music to share. If you have something please let me know. In particular, one score that I know many will like to have is RESPIGHI: PINI DI ROMA (Pines of Rome). I will be posting the Fountains of Rome, and Pines is supposed to be Public Domain now (here in Canada). But a PDF copy has not been forthcoming. Please upload it if you can, or contact me.

Many thanks, friends, for your ongoing support.

Happy Music Making !!
