Published by Thomas Oboe Lee (A0.1180571). John Cage and I share the same birthday: September 5th. He was born in 1912 and my birth year is 1945. There must be some cosmological link between us because he has always intrigued me - philosophically and musically. Recently I was in my colleague Prof. Jeremiah McGrann's office waiting for him to join me for a martini lunch after a day of teaching. I noticed on his desk a hardcover copy of John Cage I-VI. I asked what it was and he said it is John Cage's Charles Elliot Norton Lecture he gave at Harvard University in 1988-89. I looked inside and there were these mesostics. Very sparsely distributed on each page, and it looked fascinating, like some hieroglyphic art. I was immediately intrigued by it and thought right on the spot that I should buy a copy and maybe create a song cycle from the texts. Upon further research, I found out that John Cage compiled the content for his lecture using excerpts from works by Thoreau, Emerson, Wittgenstein, McLuhan, Buckminster Fuller, plus passages from The Wall Street Journal, The Christian Science Monitor and The New York Times. He then created the final text for his lecture by using chance operations with the assistance of a computer program that he created. And so I did the unthinkable, create a song cycle of words that has no meaning nor narrative in the traditional sense. Quoting John Cage: I have nothing to say, I am saying it, and that is poetry. John Cage I-VI (2023) is in six movements, scored for soprano and piano.

Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1252990 By Bill Whitley. By Bill Whitley. Arranged by Bill Whitley. 20th Century,21st Century,Classical,Contemporary. Score. 10 pages. Musica Semplice #846743. Published by Musica Semplice (A0.1252990). In the spirit of Cage's In a Landscape and composed with the aid of a six-sided die, Labyrinth Walk is ambient and meditative as the name suggests.  This is many ways was my first 'mature' work in the sense that every work that came later was focused on the same theme of meditative tools...ambient and atmospheric textures, etc. It really all began with 'Labyrinth Walk' - Bill Whitley.

Piano Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1359879 By Bing Crosby. By Harry Von Tilzer. Arranged by Martyn Clive Johnson (aka Martycli Piano Guy). 20th Century,Comedy,Folk,Jazz,Ragtime. Score. 7 pages. Martyn Johnson #944360. Published by Martyn Johnson (A0.1359879). This is a very old waltz from 1900. It would have been performed in Vaudeville and English Music Hall. I take it through the two keys of Bb major and Cb major. Cb major has 7 flats but is not so hard as you might think as it's easy to remember to flatten every note instead of having to remember which notes to flatten! I interweave arpeggios between the melody notes and it therefore has a very full sound to it. It is sort of a Stride waltz in that the bass is usually, with some variations, followed by two chords on each beat.I don't notate fingering, pedals or dynamics as I leave the interpretation up to the individual pianist and in any event no two piano teachers ever agree on these things.Please note this is a piano solo and I doesn't include notation for the other instruments on my YouTube upload, strings, drums, bass guitar. I write all my music as piano solos first and they sound perfectly complete as such.I hope you have as much fun learning it as I did arranging it.
