[silence] Cage Reference Sought

[Caleb Deupree]

In his last orchestral works, Cage continued in this vein -- a music  
of minute variations -- by having all the players play the same  
music.  In Eighty (1992) and Sixty-eight (1992) the parts for all  
instruments are exactly the same: the same fifteen pitches in the  
same fifteen time brackets.  The result is that, although the  
performers all play the same "melody," each plays it with a slightly  
different rhythm: this is what Cage called "a unison of differences."
