Name: Regression, Tone-Painting for Orchestra by Scott William Perry
Duration: 7 min 39 s
Description: A draft of a new virtual orchestra realization. Previous virtual orchestra realizations did not have the glissandi. The work was read by the UC Davis Symphony Orchestra ca. 2010. I was happy enough with that reading but I made a small revision that necessitates the virtual orchestra realization.

Two Zappa songs from Freak Out LP (1966).  My arrangement.
David Elliott acrylic (Toronto),

Regression, Tone-Painting for Orchestra

My formative work for string quartet. Dedicated to Martin Tanton.

"Movement" for String Quartet [2023-24]

This is my fourth symphony, and I am using new software that sounds better. The new software is not microtonal friendly, therefore, there will be two versions: standard and poly microtonal. This version is in 12tet and it is still highly polytempic. Each choir of the orchestra is moving separately in Fuxian contrapuntal motions, such as, contrary, parallel, similar and oblique, with respect to tempi changes in the choirs.

Another fact about this piece is that it uses many fragments of Gregorian chant from the Liber Usualis and is scattered throughout the single movement piece. The chants are of various lengths and are brief. The form could be considered a type of "variation" form; even if the chants are not literally repeated, they do act as a type of chaconne, over which the symphony plays and explores.

As of today, Sep. 4th, 2025, a finished mix is uploaded and will remain the finished midi version of this piece in 12tet using NotePerformer.
