Welcome

Welcome to my music page. It includes samples of my own compositions and those by other Vietnamese musicians, written or arranged for classical guitar, piano and/or orchestras. There are also English verses (singable) for Viet melodies, as well as English translations (non-singable) of Vietnamese songs which can serve as an introduction for non-Viet speakers.

What do you need

...to listen to MIDI files

Best effect is obtained by using an external sound module (synthesizer). Older computers have SB16 sound cards: these are NOT suitable for orchestral pieces, only for piano or guitar solos. Many will have AWE32 or AWE64 cards: you can hear orchestral music with these but the quality is poor and there is a lot of background noise. For best effect you should connect the "line out" outlet from the soundcard to the amplifier in your stereo set. An inexpensive way to improve the quality of sound from soundcards is to use a software synthesizer such as Wingroove
