for four orchestras (1978)
303 pages of notated music for four orchestras and four
conductors. Each orchestra is positioned to have the optimum sonic
possibilities for a three dimensional spatial music. All of the musicians
are seated on rotating chairs with the addition of television sets for
regulation, as well as specially built risers for vertical sound
possibilities. Each orchestra has the same instrumentation, that being 2
(pic) 1+1, 2 (sop clar) 1, 2+2+1 b trom + TB, harp, 5+5+5+4+3, and 3 per.
The score is written for each instrument as is, rather than in concert
pitch.
