MeMarie (Micro-Opera For Soprano Alone)

MeMarie (Micro-Opera For Soprano Alone)

soprano alone

This micro-opera was written in memory of the composer's grandmother, Marie. Inspired by the visual/sonic/kinetic structures of concrete poetry, its "libretto" is a collage of three sources: a poem (sung), a small-town newspaper "in memoriam" (sprechstimme), and a classical formula using "imaginary numbers" (abstractly intoned). Three interpenetrating responses to the loss of a loved one: intellectual, emotional, and poetic.

Authored (or revised): 1970

Text source: texts by the composer

Duration (minutes): 6

First performance: April 14, 1970 - Judy Summerville Johnson (soprano), Indiana University (Bloomington)

Historic material for this item is held at Special Collections in Performing Arts (SCPA) at the University of Maryland.
