Numbers are systematically substitutedfor letters, resulting in complex hidden ideas, cross-references and double meanings inotherwise apparently straightforward texts. This work does not apply a similarly schematicapproach to music, but attempts a fitting mood and richness by means of complicatedcross-rhythmic overlays of colors and harmonies. This work was commissioned by DavidAmos and the JCC Orchestra of San Diego.— Arnold <strong>Rosner</strong>Arnold <strong>Rosner</strong> (1945–2013)<strong>Gematria</strong>C<strong>op</strong>yright © 2015 The Estate of Arnold <strong>Rosner</strong>. www.arnoldrosnermusic.comMusic engraved by Jeffrey Grossman in SCORE 4.01Book typeset in Adobe InDesignver. 17 August 2015
