MusicOLib publishes mostly original pieces by Oliver Barton and Tim Porter. Nearly everything is choral.

Many of my (Oliver's) pieces were written for the Henbury Singers in Bristol, England, a non-audition, enthusiastic amateur choir, about 40 strong.

You can download all of the pieces complete and free as PDF files and many as Finale 2002, 2004 or 2010 files (saved as .ETF files, so maybe they can be read by other versions of Finale). There are also MIDI files of most of the pieces. If you want Finale files of Tim Porter's pieces, please contact me.

If you are interested in performing any of the pieces or have any comments or suggestions, please e-mail me at oliver.barton@virgin.net to let me know.

Please click on a title to see more details of each piece.

NEW (March 2010): Addition of songs and a part song by my father (Alan Barton) and a song by my uncle (Godfrey Barton). Also corrected and improved versions of some of Tim Porter's pieces.
