Digital Sheet Music [PDF]: ScoreConversations About the Impossible : [eScore] / Cathy Applegate.by Cathy Applegate (2018)
|
Product details
This work for was inspired by a painting by artist, Kate Eagle. The original art work depicts a fox dressed in a suit and a clothed mermaid. They are sitting together on veranda steps having a serious conversation. The caption, handwritten in silver ink reads: Conversations About the Impossible. Applegate has responded by creating a quirky musical conversation in which ideas and gestures are 'discussed' by five players. Sometimes animated and at other times thoughtful, the music captures the ebb and flow of conversation: agreement, disagreement, argument, and interjection feature as the flow of ideas moves through the ensemble.
