Bend of Bay & Swerve of Shore
Bend of Bay by texpete
Swerve of Shore by texpete
These are the last of old tracks I re-jigged on Sibelius 7. Posting frequency will probably revert back to two or three a year from now on.

Summer Fete - revisited
Summer Fete v2 by texpete
So, having discovered how to work that widget, I have decided to upload the reworked old stuff to SoundCloud and copy the widgets to here. First up, "Summer Fete", which is also available to download at http://thenoillybriggorchestra.bandcamp.com/album/almost-too-exciting-to-contain.
Look out for your other faves over the coming days/weeks.

Nisi Nirvana
Nisi Nirvana by texpete
Well: there's that widget.
Nisi Nirvana is my latest tune, named after a character in the book 'Imajica' by Clive Barker. I have translated her name to "If not Heaven" for download on Bandcamp, at
http://thenoillybriggorchestra.bandcamp.com/track/if-not-heaven
Her story is a kind of parody of the christian nativity, and I think it makes a nice secular, irreligeous yuletide hymn, although you will need to supply your own words, or just hum along with the Nolly Brig Choir of Ruffians.
I'm hoping to be able to come up with another 4 tunes to sit alongside this one in a suite based on Clive Barker's book, one for each of the 5 Dominions which form the 'Imajica'.

The Nolly Brig Orchestra
Hello Blog: long time no blog.
I've just checked in and discovered that file factory (which hosted the original files linked previously) seems to have deleted the files, so those links no longer work. No great matter: it was a horribly cumbersome way of going about things. I will work on getting the SoundCloud widget up on here.
I also want to introduce The Nolly Brig Orchestra (that's going to be my musical nomdeplum if you will) who's music is also available to preview for free (and download for a small fee) at ...
http://thenoillybriggorchestra.bandcamp.com/
... and after whom I have re-named this Blog (I'm not sure if that is going to work. We shall see.)
Most of the stuff from the earlier posts has been polished up and reworked and, even if I say so myself, doesn't sound too bad. Note that the sound quality of the free previews is not as good as the download .wav files so if you think its sounding a bit 'woolly' then that's probably because it is.
Since I last posted, I have upgraded to Sibelius 7 (music notation software) with its new sound library, and on the whole, I'm quite impressed. I've been working on a new project as well as tidying up the scores from the earlier posts. News on new stuff coming soon..
And yes, I promise not to leave it so long until my next post, this time.
