The Donald Knaack Percussion Ensemble
Jay Clayton - voice
On Three Constructions the enigmatic 20th Century American composers
made these works based around the poems of E E Cummings. His
construction series produced a string of conceptual works for
percussion and voice performed by the Donald Knaak Percussion Ensemble
with the voice of Jay Clayton reciting. Spare and delicate these
compositions further reveal his interests in oblique methods and
chance operations in both composition and performance which in other
work are often hard to tackle and arguably appeal more of a conceptual
level than an audible one. This work however is closer to a song cycle
and is explicit of the composers interests in Balinese music.
