Rorem, Ned. (1923–2022). Autograph Musical Quotation Signed.
Neatly penned AMQS by the American composer who has written out an unidentified excerpt of two 6/8 measures with a key signature of one sharp; one staff. Signed and dated, "June '03." Sheet torn and cut from a 12-staff pad. 5.5 x 7.5 inches (14 x 19.2 cm). Vertical fold; overall in very fine condition.
"Though many of Rorem's musical works exhibit advanced harmonic techniques – altered chords, polytonal passages and patches of modified serialism – he has never strayed far from diatonicism. His use of tonal materials, however, produces striking variety, complexity and, often, intensity." James Holmes, Anthony Tommasini and Arlys McDonald in Grove Music Online
