Duration: 16' 00" Year: 1978

Kit Powell  

Chinese Songs

Duration: 16' 00" Year: 1988
for high soprano and tape

• Programme Note

  First performed in a concert of the Swiss Computer Music Center with soloist Franziska Staeheli. Later performances in Bern (with a short lecture about it by me) and in Schaffhausen. Bruno Spoerri also played the tape abroad, in a demonstration of our work here.

  Preparation for the work involved analysis of several Chinese instruments; Ch’in (a zither), gong and wood block. The wave analysis was done with a computer program and my imitations were realized on the Computer Music Center’s DMX. There are two sets of texts: from the Tao Te Ching (Lao Tse) and from the I Ching. The Lao Tse texts were chosen by me and set with traditional notation. The I Ching texts were chosen by chance (with the computer) and set with a computer generated graphic notation. Proportions within the piece were also made with a computer program using chance and units of Golden Section. (More details in the introduction to the score).

  This piece could be performed with two singers: one singing the Tao texts, the other singing the I Ching texts.

for soprano, viola, clarinet, cello and piano

• Programme Note

  This cycle is linked to The Rock, Whatipu for solo soprano, which preceded it without break in the 1990 performance – this is the ideal format.

  This work is in five movements; the numbering of the movements relates to the cycle of poems by Denis Trussell (I, II, III, VII, X).
