Linaia-Agon, Iannis Xenakis

“The Formal and Harmonic Structures of Linaia-Agon, and Linaia-Agon – Notes for the Officiant”.

These papers are primarily concerned with presenting a point of departure for performers who would be interested in programming Iannis Xenakis’ linaia-agon, a work for horn, trombone, and tuba. While various topics helpful in approaching the piece are covered, the largest section of the writing is an analysis of the work.
