- ÷The Princess and the Pea (and More) CD
This collection of performances was partly inspired by the art of Charley Harper, composed and conducted by Carmon DeLeone, and released on CD in 2005, originally sold by Cincinnati-area classical-music radio station WGUC (90.9MHz FM).
Beginning with six tracks of Fanfare, Funk & Fandango (An American Dance Set, 10:24), the first half of the CD finishes with The Princess and the Pea, a ballet in one act and 19 tracks (and 27:18). After this is a brief ballet piece from Billy Sunday titled Angel of Innocence
(3:40), finishing the pieces involving the Cincinnati Ballet Orchestra.
The remainder of the album, almost half of it, consists of pieces specifically inspired by Charley Harper:
- Harper Set #1 (For Flute, Piano and Percussion), tracks 27–42, 14:16
- Harper Set #3 (For String Quintet), tracks 43–54, 15:11
- Harper Sets Combo, tracks 55–59, 5:57
