Emre, 

    The following page on the Csound wiki has links to several mp3's of Csound pieces which you could use.  I personally have no preference, nor do I know exactly what qualities you are looking for, but if you give them a listen, you might be able to decide.  Also, you could give the students the link and they can listen at their leisure.

Subject: [Csnd] How to amaze young computer science & music students with Csound?


Dear csounders,

I'll give a very brief presentation on Music and AI to a class who is
taking a course titled Musix & GNU/Linux at Istanbul Bilgi University
CS dept. given by Dr. Ruhan Ikeda.

In addition to my main presentation I also want to inform them about
Csound and its capabilities.

I won't have much time to talk to them and I'll be using another
computer on which I won't have time to install some programs, make
adjustmens, etc. so I'd like to give young students a musical and
acoustical impression in a quick manner.

So which Csound pieces (im .mp3 format) would you advise me to
download and make those students listen?

Another question: They are using Common Music from Taube and I'm sure
they learned how to create some MIDI files. I would like to show them
they can use Csound as the ultimate synthesizer to give life and sound
to their MIDI output. What would you suggest for that? Get some MIDI
file (for example?) and render it using Csound (how? since I haven't
tried that before and I'm not a csound expert)?

Any tips and ideas will be greatly appreciated.
