Along with the magazine MusicWorks, subscribers can opt to receive a MusicWorks CD containing recordings of compositions by the composers featured in each issue. For MusicWorks 64, Gayle Young's own JI compositions 'Harmonium' for string quartet is featured. This is a splendid piece of music, full of exotic and vibrant high-limit just intonation chords. Ms. Young is a fine composer, and it's splendid to be able to hear her work on CD. My main complaint is that the piece is too short! In any case, both the magazine MusicWorks (which often features xenharmonic composers and their work) and the MusicWorks 64 CD is *highly* recommended. [P.S.: MusicWorks 60 contains the single finest explication of Erv Wilson's CPS method of scale generation, along with nonpareil photos of geometric models and diagrams by Erv himself. The article is "Just Shape, Nothing Central" by the nonpareil Paul Rapoport. This article is a *must-have* for anyone interested in non-12 tunings.] Back issues and back CDs/cassettes of MusicWorks are available from: MusicWorks 179 Richmond Street West Toronto, Ontario CANADA M5V 1V3 Telephone 416-977-3546 Fax 416-204-1084. --mclaren Received: from eartha.mills.edu [144.91.3.20] by vbv40.ezh.nl with SMTP-OpenVMS via TCP/IP; Mon, 17 Jun 1996 07:43 +0100 Received: from by eartha.mills.edu via SMTP (940816.SGI.8.6.9/930416.SGI) for id WAA25193; Sun, 16 Jun 1996 22:43:24 -0700 Date: Sun, 16 Jun 1996 22:43:24 -0700 Message-Id: <31C4EF85.7CC@ccnet.com> Errors-To: madole@ella.mills.edu Reply-To: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Originator: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Sender: tuning@eartha.mills.edu
