PENZANCE LITE
Available soon
for your performing organization: A complete production
of Gilbert & Sullivan's operetta, adapted for school
or community theater groups. The production will include
a complete script plus CD tracks of the musical accompaniment.
Some operatic arias & recitatives have been reduced
to spoken dialogue and other musical renditions simplified
to form an easy-to-do version of the comedy that still preserves
most of the familar music of this popular score. "Stay
tuned" to this web site for future updates, or for
more information, contact me at:

NOTATION AND TRANSCRIPTION SERVICES
Need your music in print? SirMuse can provide quality
print-outs for every musical endeavor. Notation services include
copying, ear transcriptions from CD's or audio files (mp3's,
.wavs, etc.) and transpositions for vocalists. Whether you require
a simple lead sheet or a full score, your final product is professional-looking,
publication-ready, completed with speed and accuracy, and may
be shipped as sheet music or sent in digital formats via the
internet. Please email
SirMuse for specifics. All engraving is done with FINALE
by MakeMusic™.
For notation samples click on any of the three images
below. These demonstrate a variety of musical score and sheet
music engraving styles that SirMuse can render for you in print.
They are in .pdf format - you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader
to view and print the score. The screen images you will see
may be of lower quality on some monitors* than the printout
which will always be of publication quality (on printers 600
DPI and greater).
*(also, Acrobat sometimes
rasters the Jazz font of the 2nd example strangely on screen
at certain zoom levels. A change of zoom level or any other
screen refreshing method in Acrobat corrects this for all zoom
levels)

ALICE
IN WONDERLAND
Inspired by Lewis Carroll's original
dream adventure, this is a theatrical production with song and
incidental music that brings to life the surrealistic characterizations
and fantasical atmosphere of this universally beloved story. This
musical adaptation of Alice was written for performances
by a children's theater group, but the play can be performed for
"kids of all ages" by adults as well. The score, which
ranges in style from pop to opera (without operatic vocal requirements)
expresses all the humor, drama and emotional power of this remarkable
tale. For more information
and musical examples, go
here.
"...The lively
musical numbers include the calypso-like COO-COO and HAPPY SUMMER
DAYS, which reminds us all to treasure the days of our youth.
Sirotta's music and cute lyrics captured the spirit of each of
the characters..."

Client comment from Stephen
v2, founder of
OUTSIDE IN FILMS and creator of
OUTSIDE IN,
a new independent film:
After exchanging some emails with Michael
and hearing some samples of his work, for a very,very reasonable
fee, he supplied (me) with an incredible version based on the
original score ...
...So now I have my guide track. If you
ever need some quality help with classical music, I highly recommend
Sir Muse.
