Author, professional orchestra musician and composer Richard O. Burdick has used the I Ching as a structural foundation to his music compositions for over 40 years, a unique approach. In this book he covers less common musical items important to composers and performers, outlines his development of his I Ching music system and Richard includes the 64 charts that he uses to help him compose.
