Midwest Tapestry is first and foremost a composition for jazz ensemble, but can be augmented by adding optional wind ensemble and orchestra parts at the discretion of the conductor. Directors may also perform Midwest Tapestry with the abstract, animated film Return of a Free Radical, created as an interpretation of Clif Colnot's music. The DVD includes three versions of the film: with music only, with music and click track, and with click track only.
