* A selection of Sheet Music and Scores for some of the
many Pieces Derek has written *
Derek often gets emails from people
interested in getting hold of copies of Sheet Music for some of the many pieces
that appear on his CD's/Albums or are heard at Gigs/Concerts.
It's not
possible on a Website like this to put up large amounts of Sheet Music - and
even if we could, there would almost certainly be some 'copywrite issues' that
might cause problems?!
But...the good news is... Derek composes
quite alot of music himself, and we will showcase some of *HIS* Sheet Music on
this Page.
First up are some sheets from a piece
Derek wrote called "New York Walk". Derek writes :
"My tune, and the inspiration
is a mixture of two things : Firstly playing a tune called "The
Groover" written by John Burch alongside Dick Morrissey, one of my hereos,
and secondly hearing Gary Cox play the Pink Panther theme with the N.D.O. when
I was only 12 years old but deciding there and then, that playing the saxophone
was going to be the only option for me".
