Pure Atonal Music

I have revised my piece “November Second”, completely redoing the ending, along with various minor changes throughout the piece. The title comes from the fact that I wrote the first version on 11/02/2005 and has no deeper meaning, and is a result of me not finding another title that I like.


The score can be difficult to follow as it uses, for lack of a better term, nested repeats. I have tried to indicate on the score where the repeat “goes back to” when it might not be obvious. Also with a break from normal nomenclature sections that repeat more than once are indicated at the end of the section, not the beginning of the section.

The MP3 gives the best listening experience as i use more sounds and articulations than is defined in the General MIDI sound specification.

Program Note:A simple experiment in time.

Please listen to the MP3 file to hear all of the different timbres.
