City of Gold

Editor's Note:

City of Gold was composed in collaboration with Boykan’s wife, Susan Schwalb, who “had a commission to create an artist’s book commemorating the 3000th anniversary of Jerusalem.” The composition was designed so that a tape of it could be played continuously at the site of the exhibit. City of Gold begins and ends with sustained B’s (above middle C) that are meant to connect to each other in an endless loop.
