White Down Music

for sheet music and scoress by Douglas Cook

Select a category from the above list,

then chose a title from the drop down menu to see the score.

mp3 clips can be heard if there is a play arrow in the middle of the first page of a score.

This site is intended solely for the supply of proper printed scores, the old fashioned way, on good quality paper and with 160gm card covers but for those who wish to download scores, that may be done by following the link to Score Exchange below, where most of my music is available to download at low cost.

White Downs, with Carn Galver on the horizon.
West Cornwall

Never attracted by the byways and diversions of 20th century classical music with its desire for innovation at any cost and its attempt to reject virtually all previous influences, I chose instead to pursue a personal idiom based on the immense heritage of English and European music of the last 500 years: modern classical perhaps, but with a wide range of influences from Early Music to the 20th century mainstream, plus a liberal sprinkling of influences from film music to jazz. Hopefully enjoyable both to play and to listen to.

I have lived and worked near White Downs on the Land's End Peninsula in Cornwall for many years and during that time written music ranging from Solo Piano, Piano Duet, various Song Settings, SATB, Male Voice Choir, Flute & Piano, Violin & Piano, Brass Quartet, String Quartet, Recorder Consort, a 'cello Concertino and other instrumental works, to background music for a variety of films and videos.

Much of my music is now available in printed score form, and this site contains sample pages and mp3 audio clips for browsing and buying. Printed scores only are available at present, but mp3 downloads of complete pieces will be available shortly and a CD of piano pieces is in preparation.
