This is my "Memorex".  Is it live or is it Memorex?

This is my aggressive, all-brass nonette  "Brassilia".  (three trumpets, three 'bones, two Fr. horns and one tuba.)

Nooooo!  Think about your neighbors complaining about you practicing clarinet at midnight!  😂  😩

(Thanks for listening.)

Larry Graham Alexander

Thanks for the "like".

Very nice Larry.
I would say oboe is one of my favorite instruments.
I can hear this being played by a real orchestra.

Oboe is one of my favorite instruments also.

Thanks for your input, Mister Gary.

Best Regards,

Larry Graham Alexander

Here's an excerpt from the first movement of my "Woodwind Quartet In B".

Instrumentation:  One each flute, Bb clarinet, oboe and bassoon with piano accompaniment.

A little 3/4 music now.

This is my "Duet For Clarinet And Guitar" with small orchestra.

Larry Graham Alexander

Thanks for listening, Gary.

This is a brief, up-tempo, insane thing that I wrote just for the fun of it.

It's my "Waiter, There's A Flye In My Souppe".  (Misspellings are intentional.)

It has absolutely no redeeming qualities at all.  I should be tarred and feathered for composing it.

Please don't have me arrested!

I have no idea what your message means.  You have totally misunderstood me.

What I said in my message above is the absolute truth.  I am a composer of original music AND arranger, that is I write arrangements of music that I originally did not compose.  These two are related but they are still different in concept and in action.  You can COMPOSE  original music and you can also ARRANGE other people's music.  These facts have been around as long as music has been in existence.

It WAS pretty rough on my mouse hand.

I don't know your Dude name so I will just say...thanks very much.

Larry Graham Alexander

Good mornin' to you, Mister Doug and thanks for havin' a listen to my pickin'.

Larry Graham Alexander

Space Fans.

Here is my "March Of The Tribbles".

Do you remember what Tribbles are? ("Beam me up, Scotty.")

Larry Graham Alexander

Nothin' but Country.  It's my "Good Dog, Old Blue", featuring banjo, guitar and mandolin with some good ol' boys providing accompaniment.

Larry Graham Alexander

Here is my "Country Capers" with fiddle and mandolin as lead instruments plus some "side men".

Here is one of my many 'pickin' chunes, "Doodletown Pickers".

I converted the "Bach Prelude Number Six" to all-synthesizer instruments.  I utilized all of these synth samples from the SonicSynth2 company.

It was a helluva time-consuming project but it was pleasureful to do it.  (I entered each individual note with my mouse.)  😱

I hope that you like it.

Best,

Larry Graham Alexander

This is the all-synthesizer version of my "Snickerdoodle".

Larry Graham Alexander

Y'll All,

Have a listen to my all-synth "Electronica Maximus" if you have nothing else to do at the moment.

The synthesizer sampled instruments are from SonicSynth2.

Best regards to everyone.

A bird in the hand is better than a bird in the bush?

A chick in the bush is not bad if there's no poison ivy around.

This is my hard-drivin' "Widget".

It's standard instruments with synthesizers.

Larry Graham Alexander

Y'all,

Here is my classical, all-synth "Invention Number Sixteen".

'alf a mo.  The drums are sampled...not synths.

I wrote "New Age" a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, when I was actually young.

I enjoyed this Larry - a very pleasant composition.  For some reason, I thought it would be cool to listen to this while walking through a forest - I guess the whistling is a factor there😃

I personally would prefer to listen to it with a chick while not walking through a forest...know what I'm sayin'?   But, I am weird like that.  😂

Thanks for the good words, Mister Doug.

I love the melodies and arrangement.  Well done!😊👍

It's not an arrangement.  It is an original composition.  An arrangement means utilizing someone else's music creation and putting a different slant

on it, including writing variations on their melodies, rhythms, key signature, etc.  If you write an arrangement of a person's tune you must first

seek his or her permission.
