Christopher Lantz was one of the few remaining avant-garde composers who experimented in the early 70's with re-presenting notational musical form which he coined: "art scores." In their birth, these musical scores were not originally intended as "art." The composer was instead seeking freedom from the constraints of traditional notation. Was it possible to escape the linear bindings? How could he communicate to a musician the virtual improvisational freedom that could be gleaned in the subtleties of space, colors, and forms?
