A collection of Horowitz's compositions for various ensembles.

"The Chamber Music Voulume I...is a compendium of his forward-pushing compositional forays from the past few years. Given the audacity, adventurousness, and success of these pieces - which include graphic scores for structured improv and range from string quartets to 'Impossible Music' experiments - Chronicled ranks among the best recordings of the year."
- Sam Prestianni, SF Chronicle
