IAN'S ORIGINAL TUNES
Sheet Music
Since I started composing my own tunes this year, I've been looking for ways to share them. If any other musicians want to try playing them, I've posted some here for download - sheet music with chords.
WILFORD'S WALTZ
March 2020, D Major
Wilford is a cat whom my wife and I fostered for two months in early 2020. He was ultimately adopted, after going viral online.
DORA'S WALTZ
January 2020, G Major
This was my first attempt at songwriting. Dora is our cat, whom we adopted as a kitten in 2010 after she was rescued from a storm drain in Boston.
ONE STEP AT A TIME
March 2020, D Major
I wrote this while we were fostering a newborn kitten whose hind legs weren't properly developed, and he needed help learning to walk.
POKEY'S LAMENT
March 2020, E minor
Pokey is Dora's adopted brother, an 8-year-old cat who has a guilt-trip face when he's disappointed in me that is a perfect fit for a minor key lament.
