This site and music belongs to Rosie Williams. For background on Rosie, check out RosieWilliams.me

The site now contains all my original scores, public domain classics (both for free) as well as links to my arrangements of cover song instrumental tracks which are copyright to their respective rights-holders and so can only be published for a fee through music publishing sites.

Rosie does not use AI in any aspect of her music-making and does not provide permission for my tracks to be uploaded to AI sites.

To see the full list of all scores starting with the most recent see this link.

You can download these scores as Musescore files in a single folder from Google Drive: or download single scores by clicking on the button with the notes flying out , or the button for PDFs.

Scores for my original music have been created and saved in Musescore version 3 and quality of the sound may vary if played in Musescore 4.

Take all markings as suggestions and make your own personal choices as to what works best for you as they are tailored to sound good in Musescore rather than live performances.

All files of my original compositions are free and there is no sign up for download. For these original scores licence terms apply to both Musescore files and PDF files:

You can download the .mscz files and change them to suit yourself. You can print as many copies as you need for your own group. You may publish your own arrangements but you must credit Rose-Marie Williams as the composer and yourself as the arranger. Music publishing sites, including Musescore may not allow you to publish arrangements of my original scores as there is no arrangement in place between myself and music publishers providing permission (as there is with mainstream artists).

You can use my music in any format for educational use, publicly perform it and share it with your group for these purposes. You may not sell my scores and you may not upload my music in any format to Artificial Intelligence websites. If you're in doubt about something you would like to do with my music just email me at rosie@musicalescapism.com :-)

A small number of scores have been recreated from public domain classics, appearing in the playlist Creative Commons Classics. These are licenced CC4.0.

MusicalEscapism.com now also includes information about my arrangements of popular cover songs in the playlist Creative Covers. All covers remain copyright to the original rights holders. Because of this, these scores can only be distributed through SheetMusicDirect, SheetMusicPlus or MuseScore. Links to individual scroes are provided where available.
