Ragtime Novelties
On Gamelan & Marimba
Some of these novelties have very strange titles
viewed from this century and the musical
content can be somewhat whimsical or require
amazing dexterity on the part of the pianists for
whom they were originally composed.

Dizzy Fingers
Four Little Sugar Plums
Grenwich Witch
Cleaning up Georgia

Copyright: we retain the copy right on our arrangements for public performance or any other commercial application but grant you the right to download it free of charge for your own personal use. Donation: If you enjoy the music I would be grateful if you would make a donation to the charitable Trust Fund run by Croydon Whitgift Rotary Club.
Our arrangements are based on MIDI
transcriptions of the original sheet music
published ten years either side of 1900 in the
USA. Many of the transcriptions in this selection
were produced by John Cowell and have been put
into the public domain without restriction. We
used a digital sample based version of the
Indonesian Gamelan together with a selection of
digital Marimbas. With trial and error a consistent
set up was developed and then adapted for each
recording. We have sought to emphasise the
contrast between the two voices of the piano
music whilst emphasising the rhythmic content.
There are more Gamelan Ragtime tracks on the
Rags, Dances and Intermezzos pages and you
might also be interested to hear our selection of
other march tunes.
