Radio Sinfonie Orchester Frankfurt diretta da Lucas Vis.

These are quartets because at any given time only four instruments play simultaneously. Other versions were made for 24 and 41 instruments. All 8 quartets are subtractions from existing compositions: I. Lift up your heads, o ye Gates (Jacob French); II. The Lord Descended (William Billings); III. Old North (W.B.); IV. New York (Andrew Law); V. Heath (W.B.); VI. Judea (W.B.); VII. Greenwich (A.L.); VIII. The Lord is Ris'n (W.B.).
