Aurora Cagealis
Dennis Bathory-Kitsz
About this work: I had three compositional heroes -- Stravinsky, Zappa, and Cage. When Cage died, I created this 15- to 30-minute aleatoric piece in graphical notation, and it was premiered by a dozen Vermont composers in their annual festival in Middlebury. This requires a set of transparencies; please inquire for copies, or download the PDF file and print the concentric circles to transparencies at the size that matches the circle outlines on the individual 12 parts. (The original cover and notes are included at the end of the PDF file.)
