Skating on the Sheyenne (Full Score) [Alf:98-EP66734]

This work is based on Supply Belcher's tune book 'The Harmony of Maine' (Boston, 1794). Using chance operations, Cage determined whether a note from the original source should stay or be removed, how long it should sound, and how it should be registered. The titles of its parts are: Alpha C.M. - Majesty C.M. - Harmony C.M.- Creation L.M. - Hallowell S.M. - Advent C.M. - Turner L.M. - Sunday C.M. - St. John's C.M. - Invitation L.M. - Transmigration - Chester L.M. - The Lilly P.M. The abbreviations refer to the meter of the original hymns: C.M. = common meter (8+6+8+6 syllables); L.M. = long meter (8+8+8+8 syllables); S.M. = short meter (6+6+8+6 syllables). This work was "Rewritten for Louise Nevelson and Diana Mackown at St. Peter's Lutheran Church, New York City."This product is Printed on Demand and may take several weeks to fulfill.
