Music
I have a project that spans the divide between Maths and Music: The Relationship between Mathematics and Musical Temperament covering the origins of musical intonation and its basis in Mathematics.
Here are all my A-Level Music compositions. Now available for your listening, the quality of the recording depends on your sound card as the music is in Midi format.
| Name | Composer | Duration | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| ♫ Allegro in D Major | N. Hearle | 3:10 | First composition for A-Level, a slightly weird string trio |
| ♫ Intermezzo | N. Hearle | 2:59 | Modern piano piece, improvised around a pedal note |
| ♫ The Chimney Sweeper | N. Hearle | 4:28 | Slow song, based on a poem by William Blake |
| ♫ Minuet | N. Hearle | 4:33 | Piano minuet which should sound in the style of Haydn |
| ♫ Prelude in A | N. Hearle | 3:50 | An inside-out version of Bach’s first Prelude in D |
| ♫ Purim Song | N. Hearle | 2:32 | A very tedious little piece, please don’t listen to it |
From 1999 – 2000, here are some piano pieces that I know or currently learning at the time.
| Name | Composer | Description |

Below are two examples of some of my music coursework for A-Level. The first is a based on a two-part Suite in A minor for flute and strings by Telemann using the original figuring.
The second example shows three variations on a ground base originally written by Blow.
