A Plurality of One was commissioned by clarinetist Robert Hill for premiere in Cleveland, Ohio. The idea for the piece came from a recording session which provided a variety of clarinet sounds for the composer to use in making the accompanying tape part – that is, to use ONLY clarinet sounds, thereby insuring a strict timbral unity between soloist and tape. This recording is by clarinetist Patricia Kostek-Huebner.
