Thanks for visiting! If you are a musician looking for new and unabashedly tonal music to perform, you're in the right place! There are plenty of sample scores and sound files to choose from. Writing tonal music is not a fashion for me; I've been doing it for over forty-five years. Inside you'll find new - complete - recordings of the following works:

  • Minute Tours: Ten Conversations for Two Flutes
  • Sketches from an Attic Trunk (for ten players)
  • Sonata (clarinet and piano)
  • Sonata (oboe and piano)
  • Sonata (flute and piano)
  • Nethermead Air and Variations (flute, clarinet, french horn, and harp)
  • Sonatina (flute and harp - or guitar)
  • Serenade (string orchestra)
  • New Keyboard Sonatinas (piano, harpsichord or organ)
  • Bagatelles (two versions: solo guitar and with string quartet
  • Music for Ten Hands (arrangements of popular piano pieces for brass quintet)

  • Inside, you can also see pictures read about the world premiere production of my 1987 opera buffa, Antonelli's Nose

  • A newly revamped organ page with COMPLETE recordings and many new additions . . .

  • BRAND NEW recordings of instrumental arrangements of many of my piano rags, including Scenes of Old Brooklyn


    • About Richard White's organ music . . .

    ""Great music, carefully constructed and modeled after Baroque principles yet reflecting a keen sense of freshness directed toward the chorale and Gregorian melodies."
