Ned Rorem in New York - 26 February, 1984

from The Nantucket Diary of Ned Rorem 1973-1985, page 454:

Last night and tonight, Pilgrims conducted by Gerard Schwarz and his string orchestra at the Y. Something about this twenty-five-year-old piece never quite jells. Perhaps it's too rhythmically square for the ambiguous picture I meant to represent (a child's suicide).
