Bruce Abbott Music Originals

Welcome to my original music page where you can find sheet music for many of my original compositions and arrangements, listen to recordings and play along.

For some arrangements and compositions digital sheet music is available for purchase and download at SheetMusicPlus and SheetMusicDirect with links provided. 

​All recordings are free to listen to and can also be streamed from music services such as YouTube, Spotify, Amazon Music and Apple Music, etc. 

Jazz, pop, classical, folk/country, world, instrumental, vocal - over the years I have composed and arranged music in the many styles that reflect my eclectic tastes and various purposes. Some of these pieces have found their way onto recordings and concert stages while others have never made it out of my studio. This page is a place to gather them all together and offer them to the world. 

If you perform or record my music please give it proper credit and inform me of the performance or recording. Any video and/or audio links as well as copies of concert programs will also be much appreciated!
​
Enjoy!
