| | In 1988, the Holland Festival presented a John Cage musicircus | |
| | from various locations around Amsterdam and in addition to | |
| | several of Cage's works, in memorium to Feldman who had died the | |
| | previous autumn, I was asked to sing "Only." I sang it for the | |
| | first time on June 23, from the roof of the State Opera House on | |
| | the Leidseplein, at midnight, in the rain. I am sure only the | |
| | angels heard it... and, perhaps, Morty. It is so | |
| | uncharacteristically brief and so openly poignant that I wanted | |
| | to find out more about the circumstances surrounding its | |
| | composition. The manuscript I had gave the publishing copyright | |
| | date as 1976, but none of Morty's friends or students from around | |
| | that time could shed any light on its mystery. It remained an | |
| | enigma until I learned that it had been written when Morty was | |
| | just 21 years old, in 1947. For me, Rainer Maria Rilke's text is | |
| | an eloquent epitaph for a soul flown too soon. | |
| | | |
| | In choosing the other works for this collection, I wanted to | |
| | explore Feldman's interest in using the voice as an instrument | |
| | and discovered the kernel of ideas that he later expanded in | |
| | depth and at greater length. In the voice leadings and | |
| | intervallic tunings of the three lines of "Voices and Cello" are | |
| | moments that presage "Three Voices". Structurally delineated by | |
| | chordal pillars, each bearing a single word of the spare but | |
| | chilling text, "Life is a passing shadow", the delicate | |
| | percussion rumbles and strokes of "Vertical Thoughts 5" found | |
| | further extension in the "The King of Denmark"... (etc.) | |
| | | |
| | For those who have enjoyed the late works of Feldman that have | |
| | appeared on recordings like sudden flowers after a rain in the | |
| | desert, this collection offers a glimpse of earlier pieces, | |
| | helping to paint a more complete portrait of this man whose | |
| | thoughts and sounds influenced and continue to affect so many | |
| | composers and musicians in the last part of the twentieth | |
| | century. | |
