Review
This is a piano reduction with solo xylophone part of this work which was originally reviewed in P.N. Vol. IV, #4 (June, 1966), pp. 12, 16. It should prove more accessible in this form; the solo part is now 8 1/2 x ll rather than its previous oversize reproduction. However, the nature of Hovhaness' writing probably will not lend itself well to a piano reduction of the various string effects, etc., but the present form will facilitate rehearsal prior to orchestral performance and may even allow a reasonably musical solo with piano accompanied performance. - Vol. 6 No. 1, 1967[1]
