The Wind Repertory Project™ is a comprehensive database of wind literature, expanded by contributions of band directors/conductors, students, and wind band enthusiasts worldwide. Here you will find detailed information on literature for winds, including program notes, instrumentation, errata, and much more. As we celebrate our four-year anniversary, the Wind Repertory Project™ asks for your assistance in helping to make this an invaluable resource for our profession. You can help by contributing information to the WRP in any way, shape, or form, from entire articles to simply adding recent performances, known audio links/recordings, pictures, or errata lists. Please visit the FAQ section, or jump in with both feet by creating an account. Please help us spread awareness of the WRP by forwarding a link to your colleagues, students, and anyone else you feel would benefit from the information within. Many thanks for your support!

What is Nodal? Nodal is generative software for composing music, interactive real-time improvisation, and a musical tool for experimentation and fun. Nodal uses a new method for creating and exploring musical patterns, probably unlike anything you've used before. You can play sounds using Nodal's built-in synthesiser or any MIDI compatible hardware or software instrument. Nodal is based around the concept of a user-defined network. The network consists of nodes (musical events) and edges (connections between events). You interactively define the network, which is then automatically traversed by any number of virtual players. Players play their instruments according to the notes specified in each node. The time taken to travel from one node to another is based on the length of the edges that connect the nodes. Nodal allows you to create complex, changing sequences using just a few simple elements. Its unique visual representation allows you to edit and interact with the music generating system as the composition plays. Nodal is compatible with DAW software such as Ableton Live, Logic Studio, Digital Performer and Garage Band. It can transmit and receive MIDI sync. You can edit a network using the mouse and keyboard, and optionally a MIDI keyboard. Nodal recognises and sends notes, sync, continuous controller and pitch bend information. Features simple but powerful interface change your composition while it is playing - great for improvisation and quickly creating new musical ideas compatible with any MIDI synthesiser and major Digital Audio software can run stand alone using the built-in synthesiser live performance tools: trigger complex sequences within the network using any MIDI keyboard or MIDI input device define your own interactive continuous controller curves (e.g. Volume, Pan, Modulation) for greater musical expression built-in examples and tutorial information to get you started and making music quickly

"Crystal is a semi-modular software synthesizer featuring both subtractive synthesis and frequency modulation (FM) synthesis. It offers abundant modulation control with over 90 parameters which may be modulated, multi-stage envelopes with graphical editors, extensive tempo sync of envelopes/lforates/delay times, built-in effects for chorus/flanging/comb filtering/echoes, and a band splitter for effects processing by frequency band. Not only that, Crystal has wave sequencing, granular synthesis, program morphing, MIDI learn, and imports soundfonts. The musical applications for Crystal are literally boundless. Crystal is a plugin, which means it runs within a host, such as Cubase, Orion, Logic, Fruity Loops, etc. "
