Inspired by and written for singer Donald Smith, Ballad is divided into three sections (Too, Medley, and Blues) and uses fragments of seven popular songs from the 1940's.
"The singer improvises within set limits upon 'I'm Gonna Move to the Outskirts of Town,' 'You Are Too Beautiful,' 'They Say [That Falling in Love Is] Wonderful,' and so on. In the background, meanwhile, a small combo plays an accompaniment that is serial in construction. [...] The score encourages liberties with timbre, microtonal fluctuations of pitch, variety of vibratos, use of mutes, subtle changes in amplitude, variety of attacks, etc." ~ SM
