Welcome to Mmmm-Music - The Listening Page

Richard Martin's Original Music

The files below are original music compositions of Richard Terry Martin, and are featured on the MMMM-Music site. Many were composed in the MidiLab at George Wythe High School of the Arts, Richmond, Va, where Mr. Martin was the Midilab Coordinator and Fine Arts Department Chair until his 2001 retirement. Most of the files are in MIDI Format. Additional MP3 files are also presented. In the future the site will offer information on the history and nature of midi music and the evolution of built-in synthesizers and soundcards such as Sound Blaster Live (and Compatibles).

(Please do not play midi files on soundcards less than 32-bit)
