About John Bowie

The collection runs to about 16 minutes and 2,982 notated notes. 0 entries sit at complexity index 0, 16 at index 1 and 0 at index 2. 0 scores include lyrics, so the set is useful to singers as well as instrumentalists.

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.

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 16 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.
