Ned Rorem in Cincinnati - 5 December, 1975
from The Nantucket Diary of Ned Rorem 1973-1985, page 154:
In Cincinnati fro the new piece. If sound were taste, Tommy Schipper's version of Air Music would resemble the best sour cream mashed with hand-picked gooseberries: smooth without slickness, tart without bitterness, a healthful dessert. An unexpected surprise is that the music does sound like air - like a mean wind through flaming leaves of yew. A barrel of ice cubes flung into an enamel aviary. And so forth.
