| Notes: | Full score (study) Cover title "Universal Edition 15556." For orchestra. "East is a meditation on a text from Isha-Upanishad. The forty-eight words of the text are punctuated by forty-eight gongs sounding approximately every ten seconds. Each letter in the text is given a pitch value depending on its frequency on occurrence in the text and the note-patterns arising from the words form the harmonic and melodic material which the orchestra plays and occasionally sings." Commissioned by the National Arts Centre Orchestra. Duration: 8 min., 15 sec. Physical description: score (17 p.) ; 26 cm. more |
