suggested listening for Sunday, Nov. 12th

For anyone who might be interested, here's a suggested microtonal
listen for Sunday Nov. 12th...

Gary Morrison's "New Awakening" uses a non-octave tuning made up of an
unbounded chain of 88 cent intervals. One of my favorite pieces off of
the Mills college tuning forum compilation CD. This piece has a
wonderful sort of somber nobility... very nice.

Bradley Lehman's Dadaesque deconstruction of Bach's second fugue from
the Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1. This piece is taken from Lehman's
massive mp3.com clavichord site and is performed in a well-temperament
similar to Werckmeister III.

Herman Miller's "Mizarian Porcupine Overture" uses a spectrally
adapted 15-note per octave equal tuning. While this piece occupies the
middle ground that falls between Wendy Carlos's "Beauty In The Beast"
CD and Easley Blackwood's influential Op.28, "Twelve Microtonal
Etudes", it's every bit as good as well.

Number I in a series of ferocious, nearly Nancarrow like 1/4-tone
pieces by Jeff Harrington -- bellicoso baroque!
