Michael Finnissy's History of Photography in Sound CHRISTOPHER Fox examines aspects of music, photography and representation in an epic of the contemporary piano repertoire LIKE MOST PEOPLE, COMPOSERS become wary of birthdays as they get older. Will people remember? Will the celebrations live up to expectations? Significant birthdays, on multiples of five and ten, are even more fraught. Like bank statements, they provide a robustly frank account of current value: successful composers are feted, featured, serialised and analysed; less successful composers are left to carry on as usual. And the `big birthday' experience can be unsettling. Being confronted by one's collected endeavours can be as chastening as it is rewarding. As Benjamin Britten remarked in a Festschrift published on Michael Tippett's sixtieth birthday, the birthday boy can feel that he is `already dead and that the musicologists are busy on the corpse'.1

Extractions: Not all contemporary settings are so novel. "Three Songs on Poems of Louise Bogan" (1989), a work by the young American composer David Rakowski (b. 1958), is more traditionally set for voice and piano. While these songs are direct descendants of the lieder and chansons of the previous century, they reveal the emotional rawness and candor of their texts in a confessional manner unthinkable even fifty years ago. "Late" is a study in disaffection and alienation, a vocal line that stuns with its cool apathy. In "Cassandra," composure turns to unchecked frustration and rage of one to whom no one listens. The singer articulates the words in speech-like fashion, in fuming recitative, as the piano offers hollow support. Harmonically lush and inviting, Rakowski's music is also extraordinarily tactile. "To Be Sung on the Water" shares the buoyancy of other water pieces, like Debussy's La Mer, Schoenberg's "Farben," Op. 16 No. 3 ("Summer Morning on a Lake"), and Schubert's "Auf Dem Wasser zu singen." It embodies musically the strong rhythmic drive of Bogan's text.

It is Feldman's intuitive, almost spiritual approach to music that has caused him to become one of the most performed composers of our time; since his death in 1987, no fewer than 80 CDs of Feldman's music have been released, and his works can now be heard in classical music halls worldwide. His music has also won a large following outside the classical establishment; Feldman is one of the most listened to and discussed composers among fans (and practitioners) of avant-garde rock and techno music. Give My Regards to Eighth Street is an authoritative collection of Feldman's writings, culled from published articles, program notes, LP liners, lectures, interviews, and unpublished writings in the Morton Feldman Archive at SUNY Buffalo (where Feldman taught for many years). Feldman's writings explore his music and his theories about music, but they also make clear how heavily Feldman was influenced by painting and by his friendships with the Abstract Expressionists. As editor B.H. Friedman notes in his introduction, Feldman's 'writing about art is also of lasting importance.'"

Extractions: Artist: LUCIER, ALVIN Title: Bird And Person Dyning Label: GET BACK (ITALY) Format: LP Price: Catalog #: GET 420 "American avant-garde composer Alvin Lucier is well-known for his pioneering exploration of the physical properties of sound including the use of brainwaves to generate music. This LP features two of Lucier's groundbreaking early works. Lucier himself described his Bird and Person Dyning project in the following way: I got this electronic bird in the mail, a Christmas tree ornament, and you simply plugged it in, and it made this birdcall... I had this idea to put binaural mikes in my ears and to head that bird and to move my head and pan the sound of the bird around in space. I had a mike in one ear and one in the other and I could make the stereo image by moving my head, so I started the birdcall and I put the amplifier on, and I started to get feedback and I discovered that these beautiful interference patterns were occurring between the sound to the birdcall and the strands of feedback. The flipside ('The Duke of New York') deals with the power of entertainers in our society and the hypothesis that their voices are present on different levels in our memory."

Extractions: This was John Cage's "4'33"," a landmark of 20th century art, four minutes and 33 seconds in which the performer makes no sound while somehow dividing the work into three sections, in any way she likes. With perfect judgment, Ms. Leng-Tan chose to be both formal and relaxed. To mark new sections, she'd calmly stretch, then strike a graceful pose, leaning her head in her arms, or resting her chin in her hand. She honored and inhabited the silence, making it come alive for everyone. Though here I have to say that Carnegie Hall (where Weill is located) honored both Cage and his colleague Morton Feldman, by organizing a three-concert festival wonderfully titled "When Morty Met John . . . " When those two pioneers first met in 1950, not many people knew what silent music was. Carnegie could not quite re-create those days, restoring, brick by brick, the New York tenements where Cage and Feldman lived, or bringing back their parties, where guests included Robert Rauschenberg and other painters. Yet somehow the freshness of that time came back. In programming the festival, Carnegie's devoted artistic advisor, Ara Guzelemian, made ideal choices, asking soprano Joan La Barbara to direct the concerts, and Ms. Leng-Tan to join her and the young and fearless Flux Quartet in performing.

Extractions: The quartet tracks are simply mindblowing: each of these four musicians deploys a veritable arsenal of extended techniques that would be the envy of any classically-trained composer (if s/he could figure out a way to notate them), from supersoft silky harmonics ("The End of the Beginning") via col legno flutterings and skitterings across the body of instrument to gritty excessive bow pressure (forget the genteel musique spectrale and check this out for overtone content!) and ultra-high sul ponticello screeches ("Fermage"). This music maps a territory somewhere between the Webern "Bagatelles" and the quartets of Lachenmann and Spahlinger, but with the ferocious energy of early Boulez (and is as much a demonstration of what Fred Frith has called "virtuoso listening" as it is of virtuoso playing). Forget the Kronos Quartet (they don't need your money any more) and invest in this without delay.
