SoundCloud
My SoundCloud page has a variety of music audio recordings of pieces performed by me. A good set of headphones or speakers is advantageous and recommended for listening.
As well as being an experienced and highly qualified music tutor, I am also an established composer. My own original piano compositions consist of the following, all of which can be heard on my SoundCloud page on the link below:
- Opus 1, Reflections Series 13 piano pieces.
- Opus 2, 4 piano pieces dedicated to my wife, Mrs Sandra Spacie.
- Opus 3, 4 contemporary piano pieces.
- Opus 4, A set of 45 Mysteries which have something of an ‘other-wordly’ sound and ethereal feel. They can be used for general relaxed listening and enjoyment, meditation and spiritual life or to ponder the mysteries of the Universe.
- Opus 5, 4 piano pieces dedicated to my wife, Mrs Sandra Spacie.
- Opus 6, Funeral March in C minor and 2 piano pieces dedicated in memory of a neighbour.
- Opus 7, O Tannenbaum [O Christmas Tree]: Variations and Faux Bourdon Composed by Dr Michael Spacie and Finlandia by Finnish Composer Jean Sibelius: Chorale Variations and Faux Bourdon Composed by Dr Michael Spacie.
- Piano Solo Arrangement: Cantique De Noël (O Holy Night) by French Composer Adolphe Adam.
- Opus 8, Funeral March in D minor dedicated in memory of two musical associates.
- Opus 9, A set of 12 Rhapsodies for piano.

Each item digitally recorded by me was done in one ‘take’ without any technological tweaking per se. Also, a big thank you goes out to all those many listeners who have ‘liked’ tracks – both my own compositions and my performance of music by other composers. This is very encouraging. (SoundCloud is an international platform.) Statistics and comments are not displayed publicly on my SoundCloud page as all tracks are then presented equally as pieces of music.
I hope to share more music with you on my SoundCloud page in the future.
