Shadowgraph, 5 : For Creative Orchestra (1977).

Shadowgraph, 5 may be played by an ensemble of any size or instrumentation, from solo performer to large orchestra. No conductor is required. While the composer suggests a duration of approximately 10-20 minutes, the piece can be performed in just a few minutes or drawn out to marathon length. Rather than playing from a conventional score or measures of staff notation, every member of each instrument group including a saxophone group (woodwind instruments), bass group (string instruments), and more improvises freely from a grid of 16 different written instructions or musical sketches appropriate to that group. With performance notes. Printed from manuscript.

1 score (8 p.) + 9 parts (9x3 p.); 31 cm.
