The compositions of Curt Cacioppo fall into three thematic categories: those with a Native American focus, those with an Italian focus, and those which originate through multiple foci. The catalog of works listed here is organized under these main headings, with pieces then grouped according to instrumentation & duration.

All have come under the aegis of the Orenda Press, and the process of converting those scores still in manuscript to computer printed format, and making the entire catalog available both in hard copy and online as pdf.s is underway. Inquiries about current availability – pricing, purchasing, and perusal – are most welcome, as are questions about commissioning, and may be directed via email through this site.
