The preludes below are from his set of 24 in each key following the example set by Bach in his Preludes and Fugues.
Claude Debussy is associated with the impressionist movement in music which mirrored that in art and also seemed to centre itself in France. As well as orchestral works and works for various instruments, Debussy wrote extensively for the piano including the following works.
This example is his much loved slow movement or Largo from his "New World Symphony". Edward Elgar wrote in the style of the late Romantic composers, but with a distinctive English tone. He adapted the slow part of his "Pomp and Circumstance March No. Benson to make the patriotic song "Land of Hope and Glory". Elgar's "Enigma Variations" is a popular large-scale orchestral work, and the variation from it called "Nimrod" is often played on its own by orchestras or bands or solo keyboard instruments such as piano or organ.
In the role of teacher he became a professor and then director at the Paris Conservatoire where he taught and influenced many other younger composers. His own music has a more delicate quality than some composers, concentrating on chamber music than large-scale orchestral works. John Field was an Irish pianist and composer, who toured extensively giving performances and was highly influential in terms of his piano music. In particular he is credited with originating the piano "Nocturne".
He composed 18 numbered Nocturnes and inspired Chopin to compose his own well-known Nocturnes. Here is one of Field's Nocturnes in its original form and as an arrangement:. Carl Filtsch was a highly gifted young pianist and composer from Transylvania. A child prodigy, Filtsch's talent was well-recognised by contemporary composers and he became a student of Frederic Chopin.
Edvard Grieg introduced the styles of Norwegian folk music to his works. As a pianist himself he composed many smaller works for piano including the "Lyric Pieces". George Frideric Handel was born in Germany, but settled in England where he frequently composed music for the Royal family including favourites such as the "Water Music" and "Music for the Royal Fireworks". Joseph Haydn was a key figure during the Classical Period. He composed many Symphonies, Sonatas and String Quartets.
Here are some examples of his music. Gustav Holst's "Planet Suite" is his most popular work, full of bold ideas and strong themes. Holst also scored the film "The Bells" in Franz Liszt is best known as a pianist and composer of piano music, but he was very influential as a composer and musician. Among his solo piano works is a set of 3 Liebestraum of which No. The Symphonies of Gustav Mahler are quite large, and we can only provide some samples here. Among these examples we demonstrate Mahler's take on the well-known children's song "Frere Jaques", and examples used in adverts, on TV and on film.
The example from his 5th symphony was used as the them tune in the film "Death in Venice". Felix Mendelssohn was a German composer, who like many others established his musical credentials at a young age, and died before reaching old age.
Among other forms, he wrote several sets of piano pieces called "Songs without Words". These pieces are literally that, because they have a melodic "song" and an "accompaniment" all played on the piano. But the first item by Mendelssohn is the popular Christmas Carol: Hark! During his short life he was prolific as a composer using many forms, and did much to shape the development of music.
While the two minuets below were composed at a very young age, the Sonata in C was composed in a simple style as a piece suitable for a developing player. The Rondo Alla Turca in the Turkish style comes from another piano sonata and is also well-known.
The Piano Concerto movement below was used in the film "Elvira Madigan". Belonging to the group of Russian composers known as "The Five", Modest Mussorgsky 's music gets its typical Russian sound from the use of folk music.
Pictures at an Exhibition was written following a visit to an art exhibition, the promenade theme representing a person strolling through the gallery and reacting to the pictures on display. As a piano piece full of colour and contrasts, Pictures at an Exhibition was ripe for orchestration, most famously by Ravel.
Although Johann Pachelbel composed other music, to many musicians he is known for only one work, this Canon. Originally written for 3 violins and a continuo part, the Canon consists of 28 strict variations, part of his "Canon and Gigue in D", and has become quite a famous work appearing in lots of places.
Here it has been arranged using a smaller number of variations for piano or four recorders. Like many English composers in the 16th and 17th centuries, many of Henry Purcell 's works were for the church, but he also composed material for Royal occasions and the theatre.
The rondeau below was used as the theme for Benjamin Britten's variations known as the Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra, and the Queen Mary funeral march was used in the film "A Clockwork Orange". The Russian born composer and pianist Sergei Rachmaninoff often composed in a lush melodic late romantic style. As might be expected from a virtuoso pianist he wrote many works for piano either solo or with orchestra but he also composed a number of orchestral works, songs and some operas.
Among his solo piano works are 24 preludes, one in each major and minor key. Among much output from the musical career of Camille Saint-Saens is the popular work Carnival of the Animals from which the movements "The Elephant" and "The Swan" are taken. Like that work, his 3rd Symphony also uses a piano with 2 players in addition to an organ. Both instruments can be heard in the following extract which was used in the film Babe. It is responsible for maintaining a collection of MidiEvent s in proper order.
MidiEvent s are not directly added to a Track. Instead, you add an IMidiMessage , specifying its absolute position in the Track. The Track then creates a MidiEvent to represent the message and inserts it into its collection of MidiEvent s.
In addition to providing functionality for adding and removing MIDI events, the Track class also provides several iterators. There is a standard iterator that simply iterates over the MidiEvent s one at a time. Another iterator takes a MessageDispatcher object and passes each IMidiMessage to the dispatcher which in turn raises an event specific to the type of message it is dispatching.
The value the iterator returns is the absolute ticks for the current MidiEvent. Perhaps the most useful iterator is the one that when advanced moves forward only one tick at a time. The iterator keeps track of its tick position in the Track. When the tick count has reached a value in which it is time to play the next MidiEvent , it passes the IMidiMessage represented by the MidiEvent to the MessageDispatcher and returns the absolute tick count. This iterator also takes a ChannelChaser object as well as a start position value and "chases" up to the start position before switching to the playback mode.
In essence, this iterator allows us to stream the Track in real-time. The Sequence class represents a collection of Track s. It also provides functionality for loading and saving MIDI files, so Sequence s can load and save themselves. Every Sequence has a division value. This value represents the resolution of the Sequence and is represented by a property. The Sequence has a SequenceType property indicating the sequence type. There are several MIDI device classes in the toolkit.
Each device class is derived directly or indirectly from the abstract Device class in the Sanford. Multimedia namespace. The OutputDeviceBase class is an abstract class that serves as the base class for the output device classes. It is capable of playing back timestamped MIDI messages.
There can be more than one of these devices present on your computer. To determine the number of input devices present, for example, you would query the InputDevice 's static DeviceCount property. The output device classes also have this property. This is simply an integer value representing the device's order in the list of devices available. For example, the first output device on your system would have an ID of 0. The second output device would have an ID of 1, and so on. The same is true for the input devices.
If there was an error in opening the device, an exception is thrown. To find out the capabilities of a device, you query the class' static GetDeviceCapabilities method, passing it the device ID of the device you are interested in. This method will return a structure filled with values representing the capabilities of the specified MIDI device. It has an event for each of the major MIDI message it can receive. To receive MIDI messages, you connect to one or more of these events.
Then you call the StartRecording method. Recording will continue until either StopRecording or Reset is called. The InputDevice lets you set the size of the sysex buffer it uses to receive sysex messages. It inherits most of its functionality from the OutputDeviceBase class. It also provides running status functionality. The following code creates an OutputDevice , builds and sends a note-on message, sleeps for one second, and then builds and sends a note-off message:.
It provides functionality for playing back MIDI messages. After writing the desired number of MidiEvent s, you call Flush.
This flushes the events to the stream causing it to play them back. The Sequencer class is back. It's a lightweight class for playing back Sequence s. I wanted to give the toolkit the ability to play Sequence s your create programmatically. One issue that caused me to shy away from a Sequencer class after having created one in earlier versions is the problem of a Sequence changing as it's being played by a Sequencer. I still haven't solved that problem, but I didn't want that issue to prevent easy Sequence playback.
So I'm putting in a new version of the Sequencer class with the understanding that it's meant to be used for simple playback. For something more sophisticated, you can use it as the basis for creating something more. In turn, the Sanford. Threading namespace depends on my Sanford. Collection namespace, so that assembly is also necessary for the toolkit to compile.
Finally, the toolkit uses the Sanford. I've provided all of the assemblies with the download. I've linked the projects that use them to the assemblies in hopes that the toolkit will compile out of the box. Hopefully, the days of having trouble compiling my projects because of not having the right assemblies are over.
This article has provided an overview of my. My hope is that it will be a useful and powerful tool for writing MIDI applications. It has been a lot of fun to write. Each version has represented the very best of my skill and knowledge as a programmer. I welcome feedback and any bug reports you may have.
