Elsinore
A descriptive piece written as an interpretation of the opening scene of Shakespeare's Hamlet. Using the same instrumentation as "Quartet for the End of Time" (Piano, B flat Clarinet, Violin and Violoncello) by Olivier Messiaen, it was written using the serialist (twelve-tone) principles of the Second Viennese School, this infuses drama with an emotive feeling to evoke the fright and unease conveyed in the first scene of the play. This was written for a workshop at Coventry University on 10th May 2004 run by the composer Philip Cashian and members of the Chroma Ensemble, who also recorded the piece. Printed copies of this score are available from the composer's personal website - see my Sibelius homepage for details (click on my name at the top of the page)

Which method of viewing music should I use?
Score Exchange has two methods to display previews of music: seView which uses regular html and javascipt and the Scorch plug-in from Avid which needs to be downloaded and installed onto your computer. Both have advantages and disadvantages:
seView
seView, is the most compatible option. You should be able to view music on all modern web browsers including most mobile devices. Even if your device does not support javascript you should still be able to preview at least page one of the music.
You do not need to install any additional software to use seView.
Scorch
Scorch is a free plug-in from Avid for displaying and printing music. It can also play the music that you're seeing. As modern web browsers are updated, Scorch is no longer compatible with many browsers. Scorch has never been compatible with mobile devices and some web browsers on Mac computers.
If your web browser does not install Scorch automatically, you can click here to download and install scorch manually.
