This work is based on Supply Belcher's tune book 'The Harmony of Maine' (Boston, 1794). Using chance operations, Cage determined whether a note from the original source should stay or be removed, how long it should sound, and how it should be registered. The titles of its parts are: Alpha C.M. - Majesty C.M. - Harmony C.M.- Creation L.M. - Hallowell S.M. - Advent C.M. - Turner L.M. - Sunday C.M. - St. John's C.M. - Invitation L.M. - Transmigration - Chester L.M. - The Lilly P.M. The abbreviations refer to the meter of the original hymns: C.M. = common meter (8+6+8+6 syllables); L.M. = long meter (8+8+8+8 syllables); S.M. = short meter (6+6+8+6 syllables). This work was "Rewritten for Louise Nevelson and Diana Mackown at St. Peter's Lutheran Church, New York City." This product is Printed on Demand and may take several weeks to fulfill.
