This is a rare original copy of the excellent CHORAL MUSIC BY VLADIMIR USSACHEVSKY LP by VLADIMIR USSACHEVKSY on CRI Records (CRI SD 297) from 1973.  An absolutely essential electronic/electroacoustic/experimental record from this legendary composer!  The vinyl is in VG+ condition with some light wear, a library sticker on the A-side label, as pictured, and some light, unobtrusive surface noise.  The cover is in VG condition with a few very minor scuffs and two former library stickers on the front cover, as pictured. Don't pass this one up!

Side One of this record is a choral-electronic work, an extreme example of re-mixing, sound modification and electronic enrichment of pre-recorded material. Side Two is a recent work for chorus and ten brass instruments, recorded under ordinary studio conditions.

Text in Prologue in Akkadian from Enuma Elish and Latin from Ovid's Metamorphoses. Text in Interlude in English, adapted from the Akkadian. Text in Epilogue from a poem by Kathleen Raine.

This recording was made possible by a grant from the American Composers Alliance.
