"Fire In My Soul" Lead Sheet Now Available on Sheet Music Plus

Hey! Is anyone out there?

Hi, it's Cody Weinmann, composer, here again with another post...

What seems to be the long-awaited lead sheet sheet music to one of my best songs called "Fire In My Soul" is finally live on Sheet Music Plus for all of you to download and listen to if you feel so inclined. There are two versions of the piece, one in E-flat minor and one in E-minor. You can choose whichever version is the best suits your singing style and voice. They are both available for download. Just be sure and click the 'Sheet Music Plus' link that will lead you to a search for it. You'll also be able to find both versions here and here.

Here is a little blurb about the piece:

"Fire In My Soul"--one song about longing and passion that shall never be forgotten. It is sung in choral or operatic style, guaranteed to warrant many performances that will bring audiences to tears. It is a good piece for intermediate singers in that it has alternating eighth note and sixteenth note rhythms in the vocals. This makes it a pleasant challenge to sing. It is only the chords and vocal part transposed in E-flat minor for one and E minor for the other.

Here on Youtube is the original version of the song:

Here, also on Youtube, is another version of the song (In E Minor):

Hopefully, this song will be of great inspiration to you all! Up and coming is the actual sheet music for piano/guitar chords and vocals in both keys.

Until next time,

Happy Easter!

Hello musical family,

I know I have been away for a while. I want to go back now and bring your attention to a new piece that I recently finished. Note that there is no score for this piece is non-existent, but it is a good piece to listen to if accompanied by a creepy film. It was to be on an album of mood music that I have yet to finish. The piece is very atmospheric and quaint but shadowy with a lot of debt--all at once. Here, take a listen:

Until next time, take care and happy music making!!
