Biography

Many of Corner's scores from the early '60s were partly verbal instruction and partly graphic fragments for open improvisation ensembles -- for example, Passionate Expanse of the Law, This Is It This Time (scores hung on string throughout orchestra), etc. His later work involves more meditative concerns.
