About this album

© CBS (1983) 4 tracks (42:21)
Music from an opera based on events from the life of Eadweard Muybridge, a pioneer in the art of photography. The cover art work features Horse in Motion, a series of photos to settle the question of whether all four hooves of a horse are ever simultaneously off the ground during a full gallop. The photos clearly show that they are.

The opera focuses on a tragic love triangle in which Muybridge is put on trial for the murder of a man with whom his wife had an affair. Muybridge is acquitted and his wife passes away a few years later.
