This was written when Richard was a student at California State University @ Hayward
He wrote quite a few works in this graphic notation style and with pictures that scroll along with the music. In 2023 he has written a grant request that he needs to free up his time to complete a couple of these early works, and write a new one.
This is page one of the string quartet movement from Mr. Burdick's Opera "The Babble of Omar"
December 2011, I have unburied this work from my pieces. All that I remember of this work from when I wrote it is, that it has never been performed, and the title is really arbitrary.
I have started a test recording of this work and so far am just loving it!
Scored for Violin, viola and cello in the audience and
Flute, oboe, clarinet and bassoon on stage. (2023 - I think the whole ensemble shoudl be on stage.)
Available to hear on CD29 in a horn choir version.
