I have produced thousands of arrangements, transcriptions and typesets.
What follows is a selection of the arrangements made for 8notes.com. Produced at speed, they are utilitarian in purpose. That doesn’t stop me liking at least some of them.
N.B. Most arrangements exist in a number of versions. For example, an arrangement for flute and piano will also be adapted for trumpet and piano, violin and piano etc. I normally produce these different versions, a list of which will be seen by following the links below. On some occasions, however, a version – especially when made for guitar – will be by a different arranger, even though the source of the original arrangement is mine.
