Walter Meyer reports:

>At our local library's used book sale I purchased, inter alia, a sealed
>CD said to contain Christopher Rouse's Symphony No. 1 and another work
>of his called Phantasmata.

As two other correspondents have pointed out, the CD Walter found in
the container was unquestionably NOT one of the powerful Rouse works
in question.  Walter's description of what he did get:

>The CD display indicated one track only, and what I heard was a seamless,
>highly repetitive work sounding to this unsophisticated ear like an
>annoying cross between New Age and minimalism, that seemed never to end,

This sounds like an accurate description of something (indeed almost
anything) by Phillip Glass.
