yeah the score is nuts. i looks like someone took a felt pen to a staff and just blacked it out. and theere are all these crazy tasks that the musicians have to play that can be deicphered by a key on the side (if im not mistaken)

I would imagine there's a few people collect a lot of those peices for the score alone - you look at some of Penderecki, Xenakis, Tenney, Cage, (early) Feldman, Tudor or Scelsi's scores... beautfiul in their own right, regardless of what it represents.
I'm not entirely with you on the Monteverdi, but that is pretty special music. Bruckner's Motets! Messiaen! It's these sorts of places that these young snotty twats with distortion pedals need to look.
