Description "Labyrinth: Christopher Bruce's abstract portrayal of Minoan Crete contrasts movements of Bacchanalian abandon with lyrical interludes evoking the peace of the surviving paintings from Cretan excavations.
For solo voice, Stripsody is at once a supremely skilled example of avant garde music, and a hilarious send-up of contemporary styles.
Incident at Bull Creek depicts a brief episode on a weekend country picnic, in which the wife imagines a romantic interlude while her husband drinks beer and listens to the radio."
