Song for any voice(s) and instruments(s) (Graphis 192b)

Dick Higgins

This is music or sound poetry based on words by the Latin poet P. Optatianus Porphyrius (fl. 325 AD). The words are cropped in the design to form the graphic images used for the arrows in Piano Sonata No. 2 (see above), to which this is a companion work. It may be interpreted by solo voice, group of voices or chorus, accompanied by any instrumental combination, according to the system which goes with the notation and controls it. 4 page folder, 81/2" by 11", containing graphic notation, 1983
