The following are excerpts from the Notepad/Comments screens contained in the .WRK versions of the music sequence files on this diskette: RPC061 The HAMMERKLAVIER Sonata, mv.1, Opus 106 by BEETHOVEN Step entered August 1994 by MSB This work is a precise reproduction of Beethoven's composition. He dedicated this 1818 work to Archduke Rudolph for his 13th birthday. The last 18 measures are a "Happy Birthday to Rudolphus" refrain. This is considered a difficult piece. Few pianists are able to reproduce it as written, so it is rarely heard publicly. There are passages with triplets and eighths played simultaneously as well as 5 note chords for both hands and long trills. The sequence occupies 7 tracks/channels with unique PAN values for each. The listening effect is that of sitting on the bench with the piano lid removed. Playing time as sequenced is 15:42. RPC074 WHEN THEY BEGIN THE BEGUINE by COLE PORTER Step entered in July 1994 by MSB. This sequence uses patches that are not usually used at these octaves, e.g.:the "bowed glass" patch makes an excellent pedal "stop" for the organ. All patches are selected for maximum theatre organ realism. Controllers like "chorus" at maximum also add to the effect. This piece was especially arranged for the theatre organ and the tempo is quite fast. When fast pieces were played on real organs, the pneu- matics at times fell behind the pace of the performer. Large scale pipes also took a finite time to begin to speak. These characteristics are all simulated in this sequence. The last measure contains a series of control events that will restore your synthesizer to neutral ground. Playing time as sequenced is 3:58. RPC145 MOONLIGHT SERENADE, Composed and arranged by Glenn Miller Step entered in November 1993 by MSB. This sequence uses the patches that seem to reproduce the "Glenn Miller" sound which was the true hallmark of the Big Band era. Controllers that modify attack time and modulation ramps are employed for realism. The target synthesizer is a Roland SC55 but others will work as well. A sequence of control events in the last measure will restore your synthesizer to neutral ground. You should always let the sequence run to completion to take advantage of this "reset". Playing time as sequenced is 4:07. ^L RPC155 PEER GYNT SUITE #1 by Edvard Grieg, his opus 46. Step entered in December 1993 by MSB. This sequence is a precise reproduction of the conductor's score. The music is in four movements: MORGENSTIMMUNG - Morning Mood ASES TOD - The Death of Ase ANITRAS TANZ - Anitra's Dance IN DER HALLE des BERGKONIGS - In the Hall of the Mountain King The sequence uses 15 tracks/channels. Each group of orchestral instruments has a unique PAN value assigned, putting the listener at orchestra center. A series of events in the last measure will restore your synthesizer to a neutral state. Playing time as sequenced is 12:39. RPC250a Heaven's On Their Mind from Jesus Christ, Superstar by Rice & Webber Step entered in November 1993 by MSB. This "Rock Opera" was the rage 20 years ago. It was both irreverent and religious. It ran for many years and was even heard in some churches. There are only a few patches in this sequence but the Complete work (RPC250) is rich in instruments and voices and is over 27 minutes in duration. Control events in the last measure will restore your synthesizer to a neutral condition. Always let the sequence complete itself to take advantage of this "reset". Playing time as sequenced is 4:22.
