We present a newly engraved edition of this important Bresnick work, with edits from composer. Aesthetically, he sees his peice for eight celli, B's Garlands (written in 1973 under the influence of Ligeti) as a breakthrough stylistically, and he counts it as a turning point in his artistic self-awareness. And this is true, if you know some of Martin's music from more recent years, which can be stylistically quite divergent, it's not so hard to hear in the beautiful choir of celli a range of ideas that will contribute to the mature Bresnick sound.
