I assume that must be R. Murray Schafer, the Canadian composer with a
bent for the spectacular... I didn't know he was a Poundian but it
makes all sorts of sense.  For those who don't know, Schafer produces
these immense operas which are written for the place they are performed,
e.g. at dusk on a lake in the Rockies - not sure the music per se will
live forever but the productions are worth taking in.

A decade or two ago I attended a Schafer production which took place
at midnight in Toronto's Union [railway] Station, a towering beautiful
hall - the opera was full of Egyptian deities and mythos-heavy
undercurrents.  And as we walked into the dimness of the great hall, we
were accosted by a wild-eyed enrobed man making hieratic gestures who
intoned "Imagine a great tree with its branches in the ground and its
roots in the sky!"

Maybe a little bit like being inside a Canto  -Tim
