NOTE ON PLAYING MIDI FILES: All my MIDI works are meant to be played using the standard Microsoft GS Wavetable. Usage of any other wavetable will give unintended results. By all means experiment if you have the capability, but please be aware that what you end up with will not be what I intended!
Also, some MIDI files played on Winamp before version 5.3 will not play correctly. If you use Winamp, please upgrade to the latest version (5.3 or above.


Play Size Mins The Herringbone Rag op.36 (2002)
Herringbone Rag    23k  07:33 An upbeat but distictly odd piano piece - I didn't compose this on a piano but I can play sections of it after a bit of practice - and I'm a lousy pianist. (If anyone CAN play this, please let me know!) It has a ragtime feel to it even though there is no syncopation as such, hence the title (also a pun on "Rag & Bone" in case you hadn't noticed!)
The Pizza Car Toe Rag    27k  07:33 The Herringbone Rag arranged for pizzicato & legato strings. This piece forms the basis of the 3rd movement of my 4th Symphony.
Of course the title is another pun, which prompted Mike Batt in an email to ask me (tongue in cheek) if it was anything to do with someone called "Pete Ziccato" (obviously a plucky character, whoever he is - probably highly strung too...)
