Sheet Music: ScoreDragon Ladies Don't Weep / Erik Griswold.by Erik Griswold (2020)

Product details
A work that sweeps across the senses, Dragon Ladies Don't
Weep is a sonic portrait of new music icon Margaret Leng-Tan
- an evocative exploration of memory, time, control and loss.
New York-based Singaporean pianist Tan forged a path as a major
force within the American avant-garde, serving as muse for such
giants as John Cage and George Crumb, and transforming the toy
piano into a serious instrument. Her stellar career is a
touchstone for the past 40 years of experimental musical
innovation.
Dragon Ladies Don't Weep combines spoken and recorded
text, projected images and original music for prepared piano, toy
piano, toys and percussion by Tan's long-term collaborator Erik
Griswold.
Created by a team of Singaporean and Australian artists,
including director Tamara Saulwick, video designer Nick Roux, and
dramaturg Kok Heng Leun, and performed by Tan, this
cross-cultural collaboration is an evocative collage of the
forces that have shaped Tan's life and how music has been both
her passion and her refuge.
