Compositions and Arrangements by Geoff Peters (homepage)
On this page I provide the lead sheets (chords, melodies) for some of my original jazz compositions. Wherever possible I've also provided links to a recording of the song.

bridge.
Listen to: Recording of the Song in MP3 |
| Balance in All Things (2005)
Description: One of my favorite original compositions that I usually play near the end of a performance. It could be the theme to a TV or radio show. |
|
| Journey To America (2006)
Description: Many people in disadvantaged countries dream of traveling to America and taking part in the seemingly idyllic lifestyle that is portrayed by American television shows. However, for those living in America, reality is much different. This slow, imaginative piece is about a journey, not about what happens when the traveler arrives. |

Description: Here is the lead sheet (chords, melody) for an arrangement of Christmas Time Is Here, similar to the version performed by Vince Guaraldi on his 1988 CD, a Charlie Brown Christmas. |
|
| My Favorite Things (Arrangement, 2006)
Description: Here is an arrangement of My Favorite Things that I initially worked out while jamming in my band. It's quite different from the Coltrane version, and has a kind of rock-ish bridge with some ascending major chords. |
