  • ""Three atmospheric studies consists of three parts that are referred to as compositions. First come compositions 1 to 3; the fourth is a crucifixion scene by the painter Lukas Cranach, with the fifth being a modern-day press agency photograph depicting an exploding landscape in the Middle East. Both pictures can be seen hanging in the foyer during the performances. Compositions 4 and 5 correlate, to the extent that Cranach's thunderhead -- not just a meteorological phenomenon, but a divine, biblical one as well -- can also be seen rising from the detonation in the photograph. Here we see the underlying structure that informs all of the evening's compositions, throughout which a single scene repeats itself on multiple levels. Bringing these repetitions into alignment is the main challenge confronting the viewer." -- Brooklyn Academy of Music program note."
