May F Aufderheide

I am engaged in a project to produce mutopia-compatible versions of the piano music of May Aufderheide, assuming we don't run into copyright problems. (According to US Law, the music is out of copyright, but in Europe it is not; for this reason, it can't be accepted as part of the Mutopia project.)

If you have any comments, please send them to LeBlanc@mcc.ac.uk.

What is Here

This site contains for each completed piece of music the following files:

A lilypond source file (gzipped). For more information about lilypond, see the lilypond web site. I have been using lilypond version 1.3.139; there are often bugs in these unstable releases, but there are too many changes to keep up with! The source should conform to the standards of the mutopia project. For more information about the mutopia project, see the Mutopia web site. For more information about gzip, see the gzip web site.

A printable score in PostScript format (gzipped); it should fit on A4 or Letter sized paper.

A midi file (gzipped). This is not a performance version, but is simply a file which lilypond produces when processing the source. It can be used to get an idea of how the piece sounds.

An mpeg (.mp3) file produced from the midi file. For the sake of those who wish to copy this without playing it, it is also available with the extension .mbin.
