Album Notes & Community Reviews

An incredibly ambitious, massive-scale conceptual undertaking, requiring four separate orchestras playing simultaneously in four different locations of a large hall. Braxton fully integrates his rigorous graphic scoring methods with intense serialism, severely blurring the boundaries between modern classical composition and the jazz avant-garde.
