Peter, there is a fair body of stuff in 19-tet. A couple of my pieces are at:

http://eceserv0.ece.wisc.edu/~sethares/otherperson/all_mp3s.html

(Both "Sympathetic Metaphor" and "Truth on a Bus" are in 19-tet. The others are in
other alternative systems.)

Peter-

My contribution to 19-tone music is:

You would also be interested to know that there was a school of 19-tone music
in early baroque Naples-they built harpsichords with extra keys....

Best,
Aaron.

19-ET does seem to be one of the more popular non-12 ET's out there; it's a
meantone tuning and it has especially good minor thirds. My own 19-ET piece
is pretty crude, since it was done around 15 years ago on an old Z-80
system (Megatel Quark). Since it's no longer up at MP3.com, I've added it
to my FTP site.
