Audio & Sheet Music
This site features some sound files and sheet music samples, selected and licensed by Mr. Van Dyke Parks. To present the samples in a sound quality as good as possible, I have decided to present them in the relatively time and memory consuming mp3-format. If you are interested in the discussion about music distribution and the internet, visit vandykeparks.com's music on the web page with documents and lnks regrading that topic.------------------------------------------------------------------------
