Thanks for visiting! If you are a musician looking for new and unabashedly tonal music to perform, you're in the right place! There are plenty of sample scores and sound files to choose from.

Three by Seven: Seven Sketches for Three Flutes
Minute Tours: Ten Conversations for Two Flutes
Sketches from an Attic Trunk (for ten players)
Sonata (clarinet and piano)
Sonata (oboe and piano)
Sonata (flute and piano)
Nethermead Air and Variations (flute, clarinet, french horn, and harp)
