Sheet Music: ScoreVoices in the sky : for piano / Michael Hannan.by Michael Hannan (1980)
|
Product details
Voices in the Sky takes its title from a fragment quoted
from Varèse in Henry Miller's famous essay "With Edgar Varèse in
the Gobi Desert" (from The Air-Conditioned Nightmare, 1945).
Miller was a writer whose ideas on the relationship of art and
life has greatly influenced me. In the composition I have drawn
upon ideas from the essay, one of the few pieces of Miller's
writing directly concerned with music, modern or otherwise. The
creative key to the work is the concept of Miller's that
"freedom
means the strict inner precision of a Swiss Watch combined with
absolute recklessness". In this piece I have attempted to impose
strict controls upon quite limited materials but at the same time
have tried to create in places a kind of reckless flamboyance.
