- the influence of Stravinsky, but after 1950
- it became increasingly intricate and densely
- written in a manner resembling Ives. He

- different instruments or groups to stay in
- touch while playing at different speeds. He
- has written four string quartets, the
- Symphony for Three Orchestras 1967, and the
- song cycle A Mirror on Which to Dwell 1975.
