Input (English): Context_1 : Edgard Victor Achille Charles Varèse (] ; also spelled Edgar Varèse; December 22, 1883 – November 6, 1965) was a French-born composer who spent the greater part of his career in the United States. Context_2 : Holeg Spies is a French-born composer and music producer best known for his collaboration in film music with Patrick Savage as Savage & Spies notably for the cult horror film The Human Centipede (First Sequence), James Caan's thriller The Outsider and Raindance Film Festival award winning true story drama Selling Isobel by Rudolf Buitendach. Context_3 : Momente (Moments) is a work by the German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen, written between 1962 and 1969, scored for solo soprano, four mixed choirs, and thirteen instrumentalists (four trumpets, four trombones, three percussionists, and two electric keyboards). A "cantata with radiophonic and theatrical overtones" , it is described by the composer as "practically an opera of Mother Earth surrounded by her chicks" . It was Stockhausen's first piece composed on principles of modular transposability, and his first musical form to be determined from categories of sensation or perception rather than by numerical units of musical terminology, which marks a significant change in the composer's musical approach from the abstract forms of the 1950s . Context_4 : Amériques is a musical composition by the French-born composer Edgard Varèse. Context_5 : Chant après chant (Song after Song) is a composition for soprano singer, piano, and six percussionists, by the French composer Jean Barraqué, written in 1966. It is the third part of a projected but unfinished cycle of works based on Hermann Broch’s novel "The Death of Virgil", and uses texts written by the composer as well as extracts from the second book of Broch’s novel, in the French translation by Albert Kohn. A performance lasts about twenty-five minutes. Context_6 : Varèse Sarabande is an American record label, distributed by Universal Music Group, which specializes in film scores and original cast recordings. It aims to reissue rare or unavailable albums, as well as newer releases by artists no longer under a contract. The label's name was derived from combining French-born composer Edgard Varèse's last name with the musical term sarabande, a slow Spanish dance. Context_7 : Ionisation (1929–1931) is a musical composition by Edgard Varèse written for thirteen percussionists. It was among the first concert hall compositions for percussion ensemble alone, although Alexander Tcherepnin had composed an entire movement for percussion alone in his Symphony No. 1 from 1927. The premiere was at Carnegie Chapter Hall, an annex to New York City's Carnegie Hall, on March 6, 1933, conducted by Nicolas Slonimsky, to whom the piece was later dedicated. One critic described the performance as "a sock in the jaw." Context_8 : Rites of Passage is a music theatre work written by the Australian composer Peter Sculthorpe in 1972–73.

It is written for dancers depicting the ritual of initiation of the Aranda people, an indigenous tribe; double SATB chorus singing words from Boethius and others; three percussionists, two tubas, piano (echoed), six cellos and four double basses; but no parts for individual singers. Sculthorpe drew on the approach espoused by Jean-Baptiste Lully, in which dance, drama and music are not separated.

Bartók and his wife also played the piano parts for the American premiere which took place in New York City's Town Hall in 1940, with the percussionists Saul Goodman and Henry Deneke. It has since become one of Bartók's most performed works.
