Mmm...  this is quite an interesting quest to solve...
First I thought you would refer to the BushRat collection, which actually consists of 9 disk sides, but they're full of graphic tools and NTSC converted demos/games, no music demos in BASIC there...
I also checked the GEnie Plus/4 listing archives (Charlotte, MI)...no deal.
Could they look like Menuett (Bach)?

| Looking for lost Plus/4 Software Collection
When I was a kiddo I had a Commodore Plus/4. Like so many, we got it as part of the C.O.M.B. liquidators package that included a 1702 monitor, a 1541 drive, and an MPS802 printer along with the Plus 4.
BUT, most importantly, the package ALSO included a software collection by some programmers (I think they were in the midwest) that was on four or five disks and included quite a lot of cool stuff, mostly in BASIC, including text games, utilities, and all that.
I remember vividly that it included BASIC programs that played Invention No.8 and Invention No. 13 by Bach using the Plus/4 sound commands. It was a tight Basic loop that pulled value and duration figures from DATA statements, and the values were tweaked from those in the manual so it sounded really pretty good.
For the life of me I cannot remember the name of the disk collection (I think they were based on the family surname) but I was only 11 at the time so what can I say.
I've looked for these things on Plus4World and lots of other internet archives but was never able to find them. Any one remember these?
