This piece comes from a series of four graphic compositions written in 1963, all entitled In Memorium…. The score given by Ashley is a circle composed of dots. The score is read circularly and each dot is a particular unit of time to be determined individually by the performer. Each quadrant of the circle represents either pitch, intensity, density or timbre.
