Pessoa I : for instrumental ensemble, 1992 / James Fulkerson
Auteur(s):
Fulkerson, James
(Componist)
Toelichting:
Program note (English): Pessoa's heteronyms coped with a problem which afflicts everyone writing now. 'I must say that', one thinks, 'and yet how, in this day and age, can I? It is me, but only part of me. A part, but still essential. It will be false if I write as I.' Any honest writer now has at times to make so many qualifications that they either overload his art or inhibit it, unless a persona enables him to explore without hedging. Pessoa set himself free by hiving off three great swarms of his thoughts and feelings, and setting them free ... (Jonathan Griffin, Fernando Pessoa: selected poems, Harmondsworth, 1971). This problem of living with images which float constantly in and out of the edges of one's conciousness is a problem which we all experience and indeed, Griffin's statement brilliantly states the dilemma which it creates for us. Yet, these images continue to go in and out of our consciousness precisely because of this dilemma. We cannot use them because they 'belong to someone else'
or 'because one cannot use that kind of material' - yet - they continue to re-appear because they demand to be confronted and worked through them and because I believe we can only write about that which we know firsthand. - JAMES FULKERSON
