New York: American Composers Alliance - American Composers Edition, 1987. First Edition . Stapled Wraps. Fine Minus. 10" X 13. A brief, atmospheric (ca. 6'30") suite involving the principle of sympathetic resonance, produced by a single "preparation": small cardboard or rubber wedges, added before each of the four movements, affixed at the back end of several keys, thus depressing them and lifting their respective dampers. The resultant sonority, accumulating as the suite progresses, replicates Scriabin's "mystic chord" and here represents the fifth element in alchemy: the Aether. MOVEMENTS: Earth, Air, Fire, Water. 6 pages. CONDITION: a bright, solid, unmarked, uncreased, unused copy with negligible shelf-wear - just a touch of scuffing along the spine edge. This handsome copy is now in a clear, protective polypropylene bag. NOTE: multiple score orders, depending on weight, may qualify for a generous shipping charge reduction.

This CD brings together the remarkable music of Dane Rudhyar (1895-1985), X-patriate, and Erik Satie (1866-1925), X-centric.
