Rudy's Songs And Instrumental Arrangements


The following audio recordings were done in the years 1990/1991 with my Kurzweil 1000 stage piano and put together in albums "Marlena","Calling Home", and "Bali Moon". All of these are originally composed and arranged by me. Album "Vocals" contains songs done with my sister Jutta and her partner Gerd, and also songs from our Gilroy Ukulele group Dukes of Ukes. These are all covers of known tunes. Album "Piano Compositions" contains piano pieces I composed between 1968 and 2022. Album "Classical" contains multi-instrument arrangements of well-known pieces from classical composers like Bach, Schubert, and Schumann, played on the Kurzweil SP3X keyboard, mostly using music software Band In A Box.

Album "Vocals" contains the following songs arranged and sung by Jutta, Gerd, and me: Greenfields (The Four Tops), Today (John Denver), Sound of Silence (Simon and Garfunkel), Yellow Brick Road (Elton John), Melancholy Man (Moody Blues), O Caritas (Cat Stevens), The Whiskey Wouldn't Let Me Pray (Dukes), I'll Fly Away (Dukes), Fly Me To The Moon (Frank Sinatra), Westcoast Life, Something Stupid (Frank+Nancy Sinatra), Dream a Little Dream (Mamas and Papas).

All songs in the albums can be played continuously or one by one by using the buttons for the playlists (Pause, Resume, Skip, and Stop). After a playlist is selected, the first song will start playing, and at the end it automatically goes to the next song unless the Stop button is used. Note that some songs take up to 5 seconds before they begin playing. It is recommended to use high-quality headphones or external speakers for the enjoyment of this music.

If you prefer, you can select the following links instead of using the play lists. These links each play a song from the album "Marlena" only, and display a music player window with control buttons (play, pause, volume). Use the left arrow tab on top of the page to go back to the browser window.
