Origins of computer-generated music

RealAudio - MP3 - iTunes

Computer historians have released what's believed to be the first recording of music generated by a computer. It's being made public as part of the 60th anniversary of "Baby," a forerunner of modern computers. A computer called the Ferranti Mark 1, a descendant of Baby, generated a few tunes, including God Save the Queen and Baa Baa Black Sheep.
