originally improvised, but then later wrote down.

Managed to get a performance at my godmother's daughter's christening, but arranged for organ.

My first work written about 4 years ago...

Not much I can really say, just sorta fiddling around with a few things.

It's kinda embarrassing putting it up here but what the hell!

''Eclipse''.mid

The very first thing I wrote was a little motif called "The Chicken" when I was say 8 years old. I put it into midi when I was 10 or so, and the file still exists. It's actually about seconds in length. I think I figured the chicken would become dinner anyway, so why continue?

I might continue it. Chicken gets fed, chicken is happy, chicken is rampant, chicken gets picked, chicken struggles, chicken gets decapitated. :whistling:

My first lengthy work? I've always written small phrases until but 5 or so years ago. I'm young, but that's no excuse.

The Chicken.mid

Hoo-boy. I wrote this... three years ago, I do believe? I'd have even less training at that point than I do now, and I had just been playing with my crappy notation software, Noteworthy Composer, in that sort of plug-in-notes-and-see-what-sounds-okay way. The result was... this. I fancied it a madrigal. Written for SSA. It's... ridiculous. It amuses me greatly ^^
