It's more of a theatre work than a 'music only' composition (he was doing many pseudo-happenings back then -- Cage influence + his early gig at Univ. of Illinois as accompanist for the Dance Dept.). I have a score 'somewhere' in my . house, but I can't promise finding it soon (I recently moved, and most of ++ reality is in boxes in my garage).
