And so it begins!

After much work, and delivering nearly 40 Arias and Choruses to the catalogue, I am delighted to announce that, after much research, i am starting to get good feedback from around the world.  Watch this space!

Titles now number 25!

More titles have now been added, including 'Vesti la Giubba' from' I Pagliacci' by Leoncavallo, and the 'Entrance and Song of the Matador' from Bizet's 'Carmen'.
This has been an intense time for re-setting these arias and choruses, and they have come out very well. Please check out the website to see the list, which will, inevitably, grow.

Carmen and Rossini

The 'March and Chorus' from 'Carmen' and 'Largo al Factotum' from 'The Barber of Seville' have now been added.
Any comments? I'm feeling lonely out here in Surrey!

And another

Is there no stopping the frantic activity of this man?
Don Giovanni hits WMPSMusic Edition

Another title added to the growing list

Camille Saint-Saens wonderfully evocative 'Mon Coeur s'ouvre a ta Voix'
(Softly Awakes My Heart) from 'Samson and Delilah' has just been added to the list.

Addition!

Another one goes live. This time the 'Seguedilla and Duet' from 'Carmen' by Bizet.
If any of you out there have any aria scores in pdf format that they would be willing to share, I'd be enormously grateful.

WMPSMusicEdition goes live!

Well, it's been a long time in the preparation stage, but today I finally have enough scores to start advertising my new edition.

I have always thought that the music copy that players were subjected to were bad, if not almost illegible. Publishers have no interest in re-engraving their hire material and have the attitude 'If you can somehow play from it, it can't be that bad'. This lazy, thoughtless attitude is simply not good enough in the 21st century!

To that end I have started a major project to re-engrave major scores into Sibelius, which will be available for hire or sale.

These fall into 2 categories (at the moment) :-

1. Symphonic repertoire.
2. Opera arias

The present catalogue can be seen on my website. This will be updated regularly as new titles are added.

I am particularly pleased with the ever increasing catalogue of opera arias, as these scores/parts are, by and large, in the worst condition. Never again should the musicians groan with dread when they see an 'Opera Gala' night approaching. These parts will be a joy to play from.

I also intend to add a 'Viennese' section in due course, with waltzes, polkas etc.

Please take a look and leave feedback and suggestions (real ones!) for new repertoire.
