{"value"=>"<p>The scores, dating from 1952 to 2021, document nearly all of Lucier's work, including compositions, installations, and music created for theater and dance. The earliest and later scores are in traditional notated format, but most of the others are \"prose scores,\" consisting of directions on how to realize the piece in question. Notated scores can include sketches, full scores, and parts. A few works also have large cloth versions, which were presumably used in an exhibit or installation of multiple pieces, possibly during one of the celebrations of Lucier at Wesleyan University.</p> <p>Many of the scores include contextual material such as notes, stage diagrams, correspondence, programs, technical information, or brief sound files. Some compositions contain further documentation in the Subject Files in Series I.</p> <p>Among Lucier's many notable and influential works found in this series are <span class=\"title\">Almost New York</span>; <span class=\"title\">Bird and Person Dyning</span>; <span class=\"title\">Cassiopeia: Five Stars in the Shape of a \"W\"</span>; <span class=\"title\">Chambers</span>; <span class=\"title\">Crossings</span>; <span class=\"title\">Diamonds, for One, Two, or Three Orchestras</span>; <span class=\"title\">The Exploration of the House</span>; <span class=\"title\">Fideliotrio</span>; <span class=\"title\">I am Sitting in a Room</span>; <span class=\"title\">Music for Piano with Slow Sweep Pure Wave Oscillators</span>; <span class=\"title\">Music for Pure Waves, Bass Drums, and Acoustic Pendulums</span>; <span class=\"title\">Music for Solo Performer</span>; <span class=\"title\">Navigations for Strings</span>; <span class=\"title\">Nothing Is Real (Strawberry Fields)</span>; <span class=\"title\">The Queen of the South</span>; <span class=\"title\">Serenade for Thirteen Winds and Pure Wave Oscillators</span>; <span class=\"title\">Silver Streetcar for the Orchestra</span>; <span class=\"title\">Sound on Paper</span>; <span class=\"title\">Sferics</span>; <span class=\"title\">Still and Moving Lines of Silence in Families of Hyperbolas</span>; <span class=\"title\">Vespers</span>; and <span class=\"title\">Wave Songs</span>.</p> <p>Many of the prose scores are duplicated in digital form (but may differ from the print versions if they were revised at a later date). A list of Lucier's works from his website, which includes instrumentation for each, is viewable as an additional resource through the archival portal. That list is incomplete, and does not contain any work composed after 2015. Notes in the container list supply instrumentation for compositions not on that list.</p> <p>The series also contains a few scores gifted to Lucier by the composers Trevor Saint, George Crumb, Hauke Harder, and La Monte Young.</p>"}
