Clarence B. Strouse: classical repertoire from the TuneViva catalogue

About Clarence B. Strouse

Clarence B. Strouse appears in the catalogue as the credit for 6 scores. There is no reliable biography on file, so the page treats the name as a catalogue heading and focuses on the classical repertoire it covers.

Across 6 files there are about 3 minutes of music and 2,079 notated notes. Difficulty is concentrated at the easy end: 5 at index 0, 1 at index 1 and 0 at index 2. Lyrics are present in 6 scores.

Because the catalogue preserves the original file titles, duplicate spellings and appended composer names are common. Check the scoring before you print, and use the related links to move between composers in the same genre. The works below are the most-viewed entries in this group. Every entry can be previewed in the browser, transposed into a comfortable key and downloaded as a PDF. MusicXML and MIDI files are available where the uploader provided them, and the score view is rendered from the notation file. The catalogue records duration, note count, track count and complexity for each file, so settings can be compared before opening them. Titles are preserved as uploaded, so the same piece may appear under more than one spelling or with the composer's name appended.

Listening and playing notes

These are vocal scores: expect underlaid text, short phrases and refrains that repeat. Keep the words clear and let the accompaniment support rather than cover the voices. The collection runs to about 3 minutes, so most individual pieces are short. Check the scoring named on the file before printing. The complexity index is a rough proxy for notation density, not a formal grade.
