Commissioned for the 1988 Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival. A cycle of five duets, the texts originate from Plath's novel The Bell Jar and from the poem Paralytic from the Ariel collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComposer's note:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The texts used in this piece come from two books by Sylvia Plath: there are excerpts of her only novel, The Bell Jar, and fragments of the poem \"Paralytic\" from the poetry collection Ariel. The texts are strong, dealing with life and death, escaping into madness, self-destruction and the fight against it. Never­theless, the piece includes an evolution: the painful nightmare ends in daylight and life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe emotional context of these texts, powerful in the extreme, led me to look for strict rules of musical orga­ni­zation, to contrast the emotional power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, these rules do not always proceed in a rational or combi­na­to­r­ial thinking, but rather in the manner of our dreams, where thoughts are transformed into visual images with their colours, juxta­po­sitions, movements and directions. I have sought to operate in the same way by opening the text with two voices, and creating with them five different soundscapes.\"--Kaija Saariaho\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Edition Wilhelm Hansen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45046418964559,"sku":"KP00280","price":28.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"saariaho-from-the-grammar-of-dreams-chester","title":"Saariaho: From The Grammar of Dreams arr. for Soprano and Electronics","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/pt\/collections\/kaija-saariaho\"\u003eKaija Saariaho (1952-2023)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sylvia Plath (1932-1963)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Score - \u003ca href=\"\/pt\/pages\/format-descriptions\"\u003eFormat guide\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eInstrumentation (this edition)\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"edition-instrumentation\"\u003eSoprano, Electronics\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eOriginally for\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003eSoprano, Mezzo Soprano\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/pt\/collections\/saariaho-from-the-grammar-of-dreams-1988\"\u003eFrom The Grammar of Dreams (1988)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork language\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-language\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-barcode\"\u003e9781844496907\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-width\"\u003e8.2\u003c\/span\u003e x \u003cspan class=\"book-length\"\u003e11.5\u003c\/span\u003e inches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"one-half columns\"\u003e \u003ch4\u003eDescription\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"feature_divider\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eText by Sylvia Plath.
