In their birth these musical scores were not originally intended as "art." The composer was instead seeking freedom from the constraints of traditional notation.

A memoir by Mason Loika who grew up in Miami, Florida where he tanned as brown as a berry. His dark complexion kept him from touring at Princeton's (N.J.) American Boychoir School in 1956 out of fear audiences would consider the school had become integrated.
