Released in 1973, this album features works by George Crumb, an American contemporary musician who devoted many years to music education as a university teacher, and John Cage, a composer who undoubtedly revolutionized the world of contemporary music in the 20th century. The Concord Strings Quartet, consisting of Mark Sokol, Andrew Jennings, John Kochanowski, and Norman Fischer, performs "Black Angels (Images 1)," composed by Crumb, in which the strings moan like crows cawing. Cage's "Strings in Four Parts" is a string ensemble that progresses at a leisurely pace throughout the piece, which is composed of movements with a structure as precise as a mathematical formula.
