His most famous works are the "White Peacock", for piano (1915, orchestrated in 1919); his Piano Sonata (1917–18, revised 1919); a tone poem, "The Pleasure Dome of Kubla Khan", after the fragment by Coleridge (1912, revised in 1916), and "Poem for Flute and Orchestra" (1918). He also wrote numerous programmatic pieces for piano, chamber ensembles, and for voice. The amount and quality of his music is impressive considering his short life and his full-time teaching job, and much of his music is still performed. His unpublished "Sho-jo" (1917), a one-act pantomimic drama based on Japanese themes, is one of the earliest works by an American composer to show direct inspiration from the music of Japan.
