Most of the MIDI files on my Composition Catalog pages are just short samples to give you an idea of what each piece sounds like. The instrumentation is kept simple to accomodate differing MIDI hardware and software (what may sound good on my system may not sound good on yours!). On this page, I am including some more extensive MIDI files for your listening amusement and amazement. Enjoy!
Note: Some of these appear in other places in this site.
Baroque-style pieces work well on MIDI, or any other electronic medium (just ask Walter/Wendy Carlos!). Here are a few Baroque-style pieces of my own:
