[silence] RENGA WITH APARTMENT HOUSE 1776

[Katherine Setar]

For what it's worth:  I saw the premiere of RENGA WITH APARTMENT HOUSE 
1776 in with the Los Angeles Philharmonic back in 1976.  It was a 
commission for the U.S bicentennial (since the United States first 
became an independent country in 1776).  It was a very notorious 
performance, almost as violent as the premiere of Stravinsky's RITE OF 
SPRING.  If you're interested, you might want to search the reviews of 
that premiere in the LOS ANGELES TIMES.  It's been a long time, but I 
think the performance was in September of 1776.
