My performance of my own transcription of the Rachmaninov Prelude in c# on Yale's Harkness Memorial Carillon - MP3 [5.5MB]. (November 1998)
Pieces written in 1994
Meta-Invention
This piece begins as a 3-voice fugue. The theme is later played against itself backwards. Several other themes are introduced. One of them, a fourth-species counterpoint, is played against the original theme at the end. Invention by David Bookstaber
Prelude
This is a simple contrapuntal prelude for 3 independent voices.
Fugue
This is a 3-voice fugue. Note that the theme appears at times backwards and also inverted.
A.M.P.
This is a more modernistic piece. Well, OK. I'll be honest. I just concatenated two incomplete pieces that sort of work together and threw on a makeshift ending. Listen at your own risk.
Sonatina
I composed this sonatina in 1990. (Pedal effects were lost in the MIDI conversion.)
