Things to consider
Babbitt's music demands significant technical facility and comfort with chromatic, atonal writing. Start with accessible works like Melismata for Violin Solo or None but the Lonely Flute if you're new to his style. For ensemble programming, verify that you have both the conductor score and all required instrumental parts, since these are often sold separately.
