Needham's Axioms is his musical distillation/expression of seven different snippets of proverbs, quotes, and axioms, each carefully chosen for the imagery they present. Consider "Hell hath no fury..." as the foundation of a movement, or "Music hath charms..." translated to sound. Needham was successful in this project, such that Axioms was awarded the 2008 Heckscher Composition Prize from Ithaca College. For advanced performers. Hear an excerpt on Soundcloud.
