Composition No. 96 has loomed large in Braxton's oeuvre. He not only refers to it often as a key work, crucial to his own development, but it is also one of the most common "sound territories" to appear in recordings by various of his groups.The present recording is by a 37-piece student orchestra with only two ringers: clarinetist Bill Smith and trombonist Julian Priester. Composition No. 96, composed in 1979-1980, is structured in alternating blocks, one dense and turbulent, the other soft and serene. The style in the former is that of somewhat academic serial technique, which is to say there is no "straight" thematic material (certainly nothing remotely "jazz" oriented) and no set meter. The listener is jostled about as if in an instrumental sea. Sometimes the writing is a bit reminiscent of Ornette Coleman's symphonic work, The Skies of America, which Braxton is known to admire, but more often it sounds like a slightly freer version of much contemporary serialist composing since the '50s. The quieter sections are more consonant though still complex, forming a rich stasis, a raft to which the listener lost at sea may easily grasp. Braxton biographer Graham Lock offers highly detailed liner notes both on the structure of the piece as well as its philosophical foundations. For confirmed Braxaholics, Composition 96 is a must-have, if only for its historical significance in his career. Listeners familiar with his jazz work, however, may be put off by its relatively severe classical orientation, lack of improvisation, and absence of overt themes. Also, note that Braxton does not play on this recording, but only conducts. ~ Brian Olewnick

Recorded in 1981 by a 37-piece orchestra & dedicated to the master composer Karlheinz Stockhausen, this album is a key work in Braxton's music's evolution both on the structural & spiritual levels; features extensive notes by Graham Lock

Recorded in 1981. Includes liner notes by Graham Lock.

Anthony Braxton Duo (London) 1993 CD  (1993)

Composition No. 96 album
CD $15.05
Recorded live at Bloomsbury Theatre, London, England in May 1993. A live duo performance by musicians of this extraordinarily high caliber occasionally results in something incredible but perhaps more often describes a battle of egos with neither side giving in. In this case, the participants appeared willing to compromise and to some extent lay aside their commitment to the vast and idiosyncratic musical structures that they had developed over the year. ...

Composition No. 96 CD music
CD $15.05  3.5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Orchestral and choral arrangements of rock songs have been a curious subgenre ever since the mid-'60s when Andrew Loog Oldham arranged The Rolling Stones Songbook for syrupy strings, but The Kinks Choral Collection stands apart from the pack for the simple reason that it's not the project of some associate or admirer, but rather chief Kink Ray Davies. His very presence as arranger and lead vocal means The Kinks Choral Collection isn't nearly as stuffy and middlebrow as so many of these orchestral rock albums; he manages to inject some semblance of rock & roll by pushing the songs forward with guitar, ...

Composition No. 96 music CDs
CD $15.29  Audio Samples
For this CD, Henry Kaiser and David Lindley gathered Madagascar's top musicians for an extensive recording/jam session. This is the first of 5 planned releases. Includes a 32-page booklet providing background information and session photos. Musical explorers Henry Kaiser and David Lindley made a trip to the island nation of Madagascar in the early nineties. Collaborating with numerous stellar musicians there, it led to a series of joint releases, as well as some additional solo albums (a total of five CDs from two weeks of recording). A successful trip indeed! A WORLD OUT OF TIME helped introduce fans of Kaiser and Lindley to the music of this country. Playing accompanying roles, the two Americans are unmistakable when they solo, but for the most part, the spotlight is on the assorted ...
