When I got my nice prosthetic piano, I started playing by going to different instrument voices, and playing around.  Often the voice suggested a melody or a harmony to play.  When I came to "Sweet Tenor Sax," a breathy artificial saxophone, this music came out.  I thought it sounded kind of jazzy, though I don't really know anything about jazz.

After about a year of occasionally playing it on the keyboard, I finally got around to entering notation for it in Melody Assistant.  I finally played it for Hope, my ex-cousin-in-law who is a fine amateur saxophonist.  Well, she chuckled and said it sounded more like 70's pop than jazz.  Oh well.  I still kind of like it, and I've already entered it in the computer, so here it is.

Sound quality disclaimer:  You have downloaded the Midi score for the music you are now hearing, not an audio recording. Your computer is performing the music for you live, and if the instruments sound really cheesy, it's the fault of your web browser or sound card or system file, or whatever hardware or software does the actual conversion of the ones and zeroes I posted on the web into what passes for music.
