Miscellaneous including arrangements
The works listed below may be used freely for any purposes whatever. (No cost is involved in obtaining any of the required performance software or written materials.) Please do not change these materials; keep them "as is" and attribute the works properly. (Incorporation into multimedia, meditative and worship settings is encouraged.) I'd appreciate learning of any application you make of them. Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you might have. The list is chronological.
The list consists primarily of performance materials - traditionally notated scores and parts, text-based performance instructions, and MIDI datafiles for electronic instruments. The text-based materials include .orc, .sco and .csd files for the realization of digital compositions in Csound and CsoundAV. A number of .mp3 audio files of Csound works are included; these are demonstration performances only, and are in no way intended as definitive.
