The Contest is a ballet scored for orchestra and tape. It was composed in the tradition of dramatic orchestral ballets and sets the biblical story from 1 Kings, chapter 18, verses 20-40. Certain portions of the work were written using computer assisted compositional programs developed by the composer. These programs were written in the BASIC programming language. Other sections of the score were composed intuitively, using no computer programs. The tape for the last movement was prepared on the Synclavier II digital syntesizer using the Script system and the Synclavier II keyboard instrument.
