Album US 1983 on Folkways Records label
Classical (Contemporary, Experimental)
The music consists of a magnetic tape collage of sounds recorded in Vermont during each season (of brooks, birds, tractors, haying machinery, thunderstorms, fiddling, town bands, trucks, peepers, crickets, chain saws, etc.) that is played simultaneously with an instrumental ensemble performing scores which realize, in an analogous manner, the sound texture resonances of that particular season. "The Seasons: Vermont/Summer": premier performance, February 23, 1980; Dartmouth College. "The Seasons: Vermont/Autumn, Winter, Spring": from the premier performance of the complete cycle: February 26, 1983; Real Art Ways, Hartford, Conn. Includes 6-page insert with notes and score excerpts.
