The Baroque and Early Classical Music of
Grant A. Colburn

Hail, curious internet traveler and thank you for visiting my collection of new baroque music. The music above was written between the years 1981 and 1998 for piano, harpsichord or organ and is available from the composer in book form printed on high quality paper and with easy readablility. For more information either click on "The Book" link or write the author at the email address below.

A second book of all new harpsichord music is presently in the works for future publication. The book will be a complete book of Six Harpsichord Lessons. Beginning with the Lessons in C Major, the book will contain lessons in C major, D major, E minor, F major, G major and A minor. Those movements that are completed are listed below the choral prelude. Be sure to stop back to hear the work in progress!

Please note that most of the following midi files are actually using a steel string guitar sound for the harpsichord rather than the usual
midi harpsichord. To my ears on my computer this seems to be closer in approximating the correct sound.
Hopefully the same will be true on your computer as well.
