George Alexander Macfarren: classical repertoire from the TuneViva catalogue

About George Alexander Macfarren

The catalogue assigns 12 scores to George Alexander Macfarren. No independent biography is recorded, and the material is classical repertoire; the page therefore sticks to what the files contain.

Across 12 files there are about 5 minutes of music and 2,308 notated notes. Difficulty is concentrated at the easy end: 12 at index 0, 0 at index 1 and 0 at index 2. Lyrics are present in 2 scores.

Because the catalogue preserves the original file titles, duplicate spellings and appended composer names are common. Check the scoring before you print, and use the related links to move between composers in the same genre. The works below are the most-viewed entries in this group. Every entry can be previewed in the browser, transposed into a comfortable key and downloaded as a PDF. MusicXML and MIDI files are available where the uploader provided them, and the score view is rendered from the notation file. The catalogue records duration, note count, track count and complexity for each file, so settings can be compared before opening them. Titles are preserved as uploaded, so the same piece may appear under more than one spelling or with the composer's name appended. The related composers below share the same broad repertoire and are a useful next step after this collection.

Listening and playing notes

These are notated scores rather than recordings. Expect the texture described by the complexity index: the easiest entries use block chords and a clear melody, while the index-1 and index-2 pieces add passing notes and independent lines. The collection runs to about 5 minutes, so most individual pieces are short. Check the scoring named on the file before printing. The complexity index is a rough proxy for notation density, not a formal grade.
