The piece was composed in 1932 and premiered in New York City in the same year. It is a part of Rudhyar's larger work, Tetragrams, which consists of ten pieces for piano. Tetragram No. 7, Rebirth is a single-movement piece that is approximately six minutes in length. The piece is characterized by its use of dissonant harmonies and complex rhythms. It is written in a free atonal style, with no clear tonal center. The piece is also notable for its use of unconventional notation, including graphic notation and non-traditional symbols. The piece is divided into three sections, each of which represents a different stage of rebirth. The first section is characterized by a sense of chaos and confusion, with dissonant chords and irregular rhythms. The second section is more introspective, with a slower tempo and more contemplative melodies. The final section is marked by a sense of resolution and renewal, with a return to the dissonant harmonies of the opening section. Overall, Tetragram No. 7, Rebirth is a challenging and complex piece of music that reflects Rudhyar's interest in the spiritual and philosophical aspects of music. It is a testament to his innovative approach to composition and his willingness to push the boundaries of traditional musical forms.More....
