I doubt Terry ever saw much money out of the recordings, but he seems to have had a fairly consistent following among new music fans. He was certainly a key figure in influencing what was to become New Age music, and he has had solid connections on the classical new music scene for decades. His relationship with Kronos Quartet has helped there, and he gets regular commissions for large ensemble works while maintaining a solo performing schedule.
