Abstract:
MUSIC FOR NINE INSTRUMENTS is a single movement composition for flute, oboe, Bb clarinet, bassoon, horn in F, two violins, viola, and 'cello. The work is organized into six sections, each of which examines and utilizes the compositional material in unique ways. The syntax of the work is achieved by the employment of pitch-class sets. Two sets of pitches are used with their sub-sets. The properties indigenous to the two sets are that they are of seven and five-members respectively, the five-member set is not a subset of the seven-member set and, when the two sets are catenated, they form the un

Abstract:
Inspired by Chinese poems, the overall characteristics of the work reflect the assimilation of several non-Western musical and philosophical influences such as the use of pentatonic scale patterns, the principle of embellishing a single note, and the application of the I-Ching in dealing with active instrumental passages over a long-sustained computer music drone. Traditional Western compositional techniques such as aleatory counterpoint, serialism, and moment form are also employed in the treatment of thematic material, developmental processes and formal design.
