Welcome to my collection of arrangements and original music scored by LilyPond.

Each page in this collection displays a complete score in PNG graphics format. Links are also provided for the LilyPond source files, the PostScript and Adobe PDF formatted output, and a Type 1 standard MIDI file. OGG audio files are provided for some pieces.

You are free to use this material for any purpose as long as I am given proper credit as the composer/arranger. Money would be nice too, but I have no illusions regarding the likelihood of financial gain from my music.

Sonatina For Guitar

The first entry in this collection was written for accomplished mid-level classical guitarists. This Sonatina is dedicated to the memory of Alexandre Tansman.

Trio For Flute, Horn, And Bassoon

This Trio was written as a demonstration of Denemo, a good graphic front-end for LilyPond. It's a very chromatic piece, sort of warped 12-tone. It turned out well enough for both the demo and its musical value (if you're into highly chromatic music).

Umeko

From what I could find through a quick search on Google, umeko means either "plum blossom" or "patience" in Japanese. I knew a beautiful woman named Umeko when I lived in Los Angeles in the 1980s, I wrote this piece for her some time in the early 1990s.

Silent Night

The famous song in a simple arrangement for one of my students.

Allegretto (for guitar duet)

A rather free arrangement of a study by the 19th-century guitarist Mauro Giuliani. It should be easy and fun for a pair of mid-level players.

A Simple Trio

A student-level trio written for flute, harp, and guitar. The Web page includes an OGG audio file.

An Easy Blues

A blues study, again for a student-level trio. The Web page includes an OGG audio file.
