For Morty Feldman, II : for tuba solo and pre-recorded tape, 1991 / James Fulkerson
Toelichting:
Program note (English): This work is composed in two parts: the first for solo tuba, the second for tuba and pre-recorded tape. In section I, I have used a graphic notation which is derived from the semiotic poetry of the Brazilian poets Pinto and Pignatari. I have explored this approach to musical notation in two series of previous works: Patterns - a series of solo works (1971-1977) and Co-ordinative systems - a series of works for solo/ensemble works (1971-1976). This notation develops visual or non-verbal thinking, often presenting the interpreter with paradoxes or visual koans. The material which is to be played is not specified but the clarity of performance which the notation induces is indeed the 'composition.' It is an improvisational score but it is not an improvisation. Part II requires the player to make a pre-recorded tape so that the listener is hearing a tuba trio. Compositionally, the section is straightforward music-making. The concerns are with tone color, weight, line, and harmony
(mostly clusters). Sound masses float in space, are connected or not, evolve or remain static. It is the sound of the tuba. - JAMES FULKERSON
