John Cage: Ear for EAR (1983)

______________John Cage 100 (1912-2012)__________ John Cage (1912-1992): Ear for EAR, (Antiphonies) for choir (1983). Gruppo Ars Nova diretto da Tamás Vetö. Cage wrote ear for EAR as a commission from EAR magazine on its tenth anniversary. It is a very simple composition, consisting of one page with eleven lines of music in antiphonal style, being a solo statement with a choral response. The subtitle (Antiphonies) refers to these works in the Roman-Catholic Liturgy, in which two choirs sings alternately. The text is wordless and only uses the letters from the word EAR. In the score Cage mentions that the singing should be without vibrato and in one breath. The dynamics should be p-pp. (Fonte: Web). *** The music published in our channel is exclusively dedicated to divulgation purposes and not commercial.
