mural is a book of individual pieces, for 1-4 voices of an SATB quartet, each a page long. There is no specific way in which they should be ordered or arranged in a performance. However, if there are two quartets of singers they may sing the pieces in an overlapped antiphonal sequence.
The project was made possible by generous funding from The Hinrichsen Foundation.
