Wm. W. Bentley: classical repertoire from the TuneViva catalogue

This collection reflects catalog attributions. Biographical information and attributions have not been independently researched.

TuneViva holds 6 scores under Wm. W. Bentley, and the catalogue does not record a reliable biography for this name. The collection is classical repertoire, so this page describes the scores themselves rather than the person behind them. The scores run to about 3 minutes and 1,701 notated notes. Lyrics appear in 3 scores; 2 use the catalog's default complexity index.

Start with Forth from the throne of glory (Bentley) - Wm. W. Bentley, Up and away, like the dew of the morning (Bentley) - Wm. W. Bentley or There's a home for the blest on the beautiful shore - Wm. W. Bentley, the three most-viewed entries. All entries can be read on screen, transposed and downloaded; PDF is standard, with MusicXML and MIDI on most files.

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 vocal scores: expect underlaid text, short phrases and refrains that repeat. Keep the words clear and let the accompaniment support rather than cover the voices. The collection runs to about 3 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.
