PIRATES OF
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:

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..."

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)

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.
