In 1986 I had a burst of interest in writing poetry, and in one instance I told of a "chariot of polyester that weighs aside professionalism's sleek advise." For reasons that I cannot touch upon here, I scored The Chariot of Polyester in an orchestral setting that must rank as one of the most refractory and inherently poor-sounding instrumental combinations ever conceived.
Setting: 3 Piccolos, 3 English Horns, 3 Bass Clarinets, 3 Contrabassoons, 3 Piccolo Trumpets, 3 Trombones, 9 Timpani, Violin I, II, III, Viola I, II, III.
NEXT: "The Height of Folly."
