Cultural Writing. Music. Through manifestos, scores, interviews,
notes and critical papers, contributors to this in-depth anthology
address composing, playing, improvising, teaching, and thinking in
and through music. Rather than attempting to distill or define
musician's work, ARCANA illuminates it with personal vision and
experience. "A remarkable book. Challenging and original. ARCANA is
a vibrant testimony to the continuing vitality of new music. These
exciting young composers are as idiosyncratic and eloquent with
words as they are with music" -- Meredith Monk, composer/singer.
