Extraordinary Measures is a collection of 33 easy-to-intermediate pieces by contemporary Boston-area composers published by the League-ISCM, Boston.
The debut performance of the collection was given at a special concert by the New England Conservatory Extension Division in 1995, with pieces being played by conservatory students, faculty, League-ISCM, Boston, board members, and some of the composers themselves. ISCM president Michael Finnissy also programmed music from the collection during his travels in the winter and spring. The book is available from the League-ISCM, Boston.
