In the spirit of Cage's In a Landscape and composed with the aid of a six-sided die, Labyrinth Walk is ambient and meditative as the name suggests.  This is many ways was my first 'mature' work in the sense that every work that came later was focused on the same theme of meditative tools...ambient and atmospheric textures, etc. It really all began with 'Labyrinth Walk' - Bill Whitley.

Continuing in practice of creating work based on objects/concepts/tools of meditation, I wrote The Uncarved Block after the Taoist concept of “p'u�: a thing in its purest state.  After Still Life I became increasingly intrigued with the idea that music could function as objects.  The Uncarved Block was written as a companion to The Circles, which is based on the Tibetan Prayer Wheel.Please see Ted Kardash's excellent essay on the P'u concept here.-Bill Whitley.

Musica Semplice #875142. Published by Musica Semplice (A0.1283969). For James: a kind of lullaby (1993)Built in 1898 the James Monaghan Mansion--now, and since 1942 the home of Gonzaga University's music department--was for many years believed to be haunted. In addition to reports of disembodied footsteps, doors dramatically opening themselves, and sudden appearances of hostile presences, there was also reports of the organ playing itself......which is where I, primarily an organ student at the time, spent a majority of my time. This piece was written entirely at the organ, on that organ while an organ and piano student at Gonzaga. Written in four layers as if for organ, in the end I found that it sounded much better on the piano. It has never been performed or recorded on organ.The working title was Excorsising Monaghan.  The finished piece sounded less ghostly and more like a lullaby. Whether or not it was James doing the haunting, I thought it best to offer the lullaby to him.--Bill Whitley, 2023.

Published by Musica Semplice (A0.1252087). Out of the Depths (Psalm 130) shares several things with How Long Will You Forget Me? (Psalm 13).  Both were responses to a mentor's challenge of setting three Psalms to music, as Songs without Words. Both use the same melodic motif, and both explore feelings of abandoment and isolation. Out of the Depths is longer, more developed, and tracks the text of Psalm 130 more closely.

Lydian Improvisations (1993) is three short, contrasting movements for solo piano.  I wrote these three movements while working on a rigorous recital program that included works by Prokofiev, Debussy, Beethoven, Satie, and Scarlatti, and they show their influence. They are playful, sometimes circusy, and feature extreme emotional shifts.

Published by Musica Semplice (A0.1247123). Exploring feelings of abandonment and isolation....In 1985, while still thinking of myself as songwriter, a mentor presented me with the challenge of setting three Psalms to music.  But the catch was that these settings would have to be solo piano pieces: Songs Without Words.How Long Will You Forget Me? (Psalm 13) was the first composition to come out of that challenge and my first notated instrumental piece. Out of the Depths (Psalm 130) was the second. (I still have yet to compose the third one.)I've written and discarded more pieces than I can count, but this  simple little piece has stuck with me.  I can see sparks in it of works that were to come later.  Simple and naive as it is, it still sounds like my own voice.
