Overview

"Continental Harmony takes us out into the street. Where we may hear anything. And all at once. It is the moment when Ives' two marching bands meet. Language both down to earth and way off the ground, a 'natural trance' pitching us across centuries and continents in a 'talking dictionary howl.' It will take your breath away. It will make you laugh. It will make you think about 'the way language uses us.'" - Rosmarie Waldrop
