A variety of compositional styles were employed: memories of Rabbit Ridge, Crusader, Infinite Dreamer, and Centenarian are tonal; Incunabulum, Ridin', Love, and Eschatologic are twelve-tone; and Inception and Termination are aleatoric. Instrumentation varies considerably; e.g., Ridin' is orchestrated for a jazz/rock combo; Love for piano and small orchestra; Crusader and other are for full orchestra. A complete discussion of each piece dealing with compositional method, programmatic intentions, and technical considerations as well as complete computer-generated conductor's scores are included. In addition, a complete performance on cassette tape was also submitted, using the author's computer-based Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) studio and a battery of synthesizers.
