The premiere of 'Worldes Blis' was at the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Proms in 1969, and the performance encouraged many to walk out, and many of those that remained to boo. The complete lack of conventional harmonies make for a challenging listen, but, even with a somewhat dark feel and apocalyptic feel to it, it’s piece that can bring rewards to an adventurous listener looking for something unusual.
