The Thousand Symphonies

description

Performance script for "The Thousand Symphonies" by Dick Higgins held at Douglass College, New Brunswick, New Jersey, December 9, 1967. The notations for the symphony "are made by machine-gunning music paper with the standard ensemble indicated on it. The fragments are gathered together, without regard to whether they are torn, shattered, shredded or merely punctured, and the conductor attaches them to unshot pieces of paper, as many to a sheet as seems appropriate, and as many sheets as necessary in the opinion of the conductor. These sheets are now xeroxed and distributed among the performers." -- from the performance script. Also includes directions to the South Brunswick Police Rifle Range from New York City and performance and rehearsal dates.
