...Dada. He composed dances to the sound of rain, and once fashioned a piece in which a couple stood stock-still for four minutes. But in Taylor's Lento, one of the new pieces of his company's current season, his dancers weave gentle patterns to Haydn chamber music, as simple and charming as any moment from Les Sylphides. Another new work, called Agathe's Tale, commits an even stranger breach of experimentalist etiquette: it tells a story. A virgin, fought over by the Angel Raphael and Satan, ditches them both for the bucolic, sensual pleasures...
...will have the most traffic, are reserved for public business, contain windows at which citizens can file complaints, get licenses, argue over assessments, and register to vote. Slung through the belly of the building, with hooded windows projecting outward, are the ceremonial rooms: on one side, the city council chamber; on the other, overlooking nearby historic Faneuil Hall, the mayor's office.

What was once a daring program, with its mixture of orchestral works, chamber music and arias, now seemed merely quaint. The razzle-dazzle of Kalliwoda's Overture in D Minor sounded tame to ears familiar with Wagner, Mahler and The Rite of Spring...
...enchantment with electronic gadgetry is evident the minute you walk into his studio. His engineer keeps a tape of electronic sounds running throughout the show, and when T is speaking, the tape channel fades in and out. A dial on the table where T sits controls the reverb chamber. A foot pedal sends his voice, or whatever is playing, underwater for "waa-waa" effect...
