Press Quotes
"... a glowing, shimmering piece with an orchestral style somewhat influenced by Ravel and a sinuous folk-derived vocal line. Some delicate percussive effects add much to its effect." (Alan Rich, New York Herald Tribune, 11 Mar 1965)
"... a dissonant but exotic-sounding work with plenty of advanced effects." (Harold C. Schonberg, New York Times, 11 Mar 1965)
