Abstract
Play on Notes for children's voices and bells (1966) has become a standard piece for analysis in university-level post-tonal theory curricula. This article presents a new recording of the work, along with a new way of approaching it analytically. This analytical approach requires us to recompose the piece itself, by finding nontrivial ways to alter its structure while simultaneously keeping the work's essential character intact. The benefits of such an activity emerge from this article's presentation of seven revisions exploring different aspects of the original piece's unique structure.
