- Title : PC-Orchestra 2.1a - MIDI Music System
- Keywords: PC-ORC IBM MFC ORCHESTRA BUSBY MIDI SYNTHESIZER
- PC-Orc is a shareware software system of programs which functionally
- reproduces Orchestra-85/90/CC and Piano-85/90 on an IBM PC or compatable
- using either an IBM Music Feature Card or any other MIDI synthesizer
- connected via an MPU-401 compatable MIDI interface card. Download with a
- protocol.
- ANGELS.ORC 06-Jan-91 13007 1
- Title : "Angelsea (of the Seven Stars)" by Cat Stevens
- Keywords: 8VOICE POP STEVENS DAVIS
- This one never quite worked right on Orc-90, so I did it over for
- PC-ORC. It took 11 voices, but it works. That thumping bass line was done
- with a Marimba that kicks in on the 2nd verse. Arranged by John Renfro
- Davis.
- BANJO.ORC 03-Jan-91 6263 6
- Title : "Three Banjo Tunes" by Earl Scruggs
- Keywords: 8VOICE BLUEGRASS SCRUGGS DAVIS
- By sitting down with a banjo and playing these songs real slow, I was able
- to transfer them to Orc. That's fortunate, because I can only play these
- songs real slow (one might play classical guitar really slowly, but one
- plays the banjo real slow.) Fortunately, PC-Orc can play 'em real
- fast,
- just like ol' Earl. Ballad of Jed Clampett, Randy Lynn Rag & Sally Goodin,
- arranged by John Renfro Davis.
- ACRES.ORC 02-Jan-91 8819 3
- Title : "Acres Wild" by Ian And
- Keywords: 8VOICE ROCK TULL ANDERSON DAVIS
- Another Jethro Tull acoustic tune that Orcs up so smoothly I felt
- compelled to play around with the stereo mapping feature to get some
-
- speaker swapping. Arranged by John Renfro Davis.
- COMMER.ORC 29-Dec-90 8826 2
- Title : "Two TV Commercials: Alka-Seltzer & Clorox-2"
- Keywords: 8VOICE TV COMMERCIAL DAVIS
- A retro-fit of two Orch-90 songs: Alka-Seltzer Samba, and The
- Clorox-2 Calypso, combined into one piece with 8 voices. I think I
- originally worked these up on organ, then transfered them to Orch-90. Since
- they're both TV commercials, I was obviously hard up for something to Orch
- at the time. Arranged by John Renfro Davis.
- GREEN.ORC 21-Dec-90 9627 6
- Title : "Greensle
- Keywords: 8 VOICE TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS DAVIS
- This started
- out to be a simple, Renaissance arrangement of
- Greensleeves
- with a fairly elaborate harpsichord background. Then I decided
- to try
- to slip canon the thing into reverse and back and hated myself for
- coming up with such a complicated harpsichord part. It works though. When
- the brass kicks in, what you are hearing is Seveelsneerg, I guess. Arranged
- by John Renfro Davis.
- XMAS.ORC 19-Dec-90 8660 3
- Title : "Three Christmas Carols"
- Keywords: 8 VOICE CHRISTMAS TRADITIONAL DAVIS
- Includes 'God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen,' 'Bring a Torch, Jeanette,
- Isabella' and 'Here We Come A-Wassailing'. Melodies were worked out on tin
- whistle to begin with, put on PC-Orc, and harpischords, krumhorns and
- whatnot added to
- give the pieces a Renaissance sound. Arranged by John
- Renfro Davis.
- HOLLY.ORC 17-Dec-90 8529 3
- Title : "The Holly and the Ivy" an Ancient French Carol
- Keywords: 8VOICE TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS DAVIS
- This is based on an idea I got from reading Godel, Escher and Bach. I took
- this simple melody and processed it through a series of slip canons until
- the song completely reverses itself. (They call this Informational
- Isomorphism
- in Information Theory. Bach was doing it 400
- hundred years
- ago.) Sounds pretty neat, actually. Arranged by John
- Renfro Davis.
-
- BELLS.ORC 14-Dec-90 9239 Accesses: 4
- Title : "Ring Out, Solstice Bells" by Ian Anderson
- Keywords: 8VOICE SOLSTICE TULL ANDERSON DAVIS

- by John Renfro Davis.
- LADYM.ORC 07-Dec-90 6992 Accesses: 7

- Keywords: 8VOICE LENNON MC CARTNEY BEATLES DAVIS
- A catchy tune and a sly bit of social commentary - not a bad way to
- remember John Lennon on the 10th anniversary of his death. Arranged by John
- Renfro Davis. (I know PC-ORC doesn't have a Tuba voice,
- but you can make
- one with a bassoon and a trombone!)

- CHEERS.ORC 25-Nov-90 4839 6
- Title : Theme from "Cheers" by Gary Portnoy & Judy Angelo
- Keywords: 8VOICE TV THEME PORTNOY ANGELO DAVIS
- Funny thing about Portnoy & Angelo's little tune: I can
- start whistling it
- around the office and pretty soon the entire office staff is whistling or
- singing it. It's one of those insidious Behavior Modification games
- counselors play when they get bored. Try it. Arranged by John Renfro Davis
- WOOD.ORC 24-Nov-90 12554 4
- Title : "Songs from the Wood" by Ian Anderson
- Keywords: 8VOICE FOLK ROCK ANDERSON TULL DAVIS

- PASS.ORC 05-Nov-90 11515 3
- Title : "In the Passage" by Dan Fogelberg
- Keywords: 8VOICE POP FOGELBERG DAVIS
- I tinkered with the voices on this one a little to put a bit more reverb
- into the Electric Grands. (Fogelberg sounds like he's
- playing it inside the
- world's largest tile bathroom.) So I guess the voices are slightly
- customized. Arranged by John Renfro Davis.
