Cast in a single-movement, arch-like form, Ezekiel relies upon changes of motive, texture, timbre, and pitch center for delineation of its various sections. The total duration of the piece is approximately fourteen minutes. / Both tonality (in the form of pitch centricity), and atonality were incorporated into the work. Harmonies are a result of incidental dissonance/consonance created by counterpoint, clusters, simultaneous sounding of pitches from tone rows, and intuitively constructed sonorities. / Themes and motives were derived largely from tone rows; however, serialism was not the most important consideration. The integrity of rows and row forms was compromised in favor of sonorities that provided a more aesthetically pleasing result. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 51-01, Section: A, page: 0014. / Major Professor: Roy Johnson. / Thesis (D.Mus.)--The Florida State University, 1989.
