I had named this one 'September 2000' in lack of anything better. That was a peroid (a happy one) when I was penciling music with the great app 'Melody Assistant'.
Of the few available instruments, the organ was especially appealing and I remeber I started experimenting with that when I first got Melody Assistant. And then this composition came out. I figured the melodies out on the guitar and then pencilled in the notes.
The Melody Assistant version I had can't be used on OS X so this version is fixed, can't make any edits on the Mac I have now.
I love the music by Johann Sebastian Bach, and I hope he would forgive me this one. Of course I have drawn much from him but I am sure he would have done it in another way. Guess I am breaking a couple of hundred baroque composition rules here which I am totally unaware of. (Maybe ComposerClark and others can hear this).
Anyway, not knowing which rules eventually are violated, after seven years I still find the piece enjoyable .. even my critical self.

I recently tried to transfer a favourite (and mercifully short) piano piece to midi from the printed score via the pencil tool in Logic and found it almost impossible to do successfully. So ... I am impressed that you were able to get this from guitar to midi via the same path.
Musically, it is very sombre, and understandably doesn't have the life and sparkle that your music has on the guitar. But, considering the medium, this is a good piece of work. Congratulations on leaving the square :)
