Violin octet scores, circa 1981-1982.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/754865904

The collection contains music written for the Violin Octet, or the New Violin Family, "a consort of acoustically balanced instruments in graduated sizes and tunings, [which] covers almost the entire pitch range of written music." Many were submitted (usually anonymously) for a competition sponsored by the Cornish Institute of Seattle, WA, the Catgut Acoustical Society, and the Ashley-Hutchins Composer's Awards, created to encourage works for the octet which was developed and created by Carline Hutchins and Hammond Ashley. The winning pieces were performed at a concert at the Cornish Theater on 28 February 1982.
