Expressions (Langlais, Hakim)

Expressions is a score co-authored by Jean Langlais and Naji Hakim in 1988.

Description

In 1986, Langlais was commissioned by Fred Bock, the owner of H. T. FitzSimons Company, for a collection of 30 Elevations, each two pages in length. Initially, Langlais was reluctant to accept this task (especially as the large size was a commercial decision, as the publisher would have a larger score to sell). However, he later decided to split the publication with Naji Hakim.
