Description
Verbal notation has been a prominent medium in experimental music and related arts practice since the 1950s. This collection features over 170 scores, many printed here for the first time, representing the works of more than 50 practitioners. The commentaries in this book explore the compositional strategies and performance practice of particular works, contextualised by key essays and statements from composers, artists, and performers. A unique and wide-ranging collection of scores and writings, Word Events will be indispensable to musicians, artists, and those interested in exploring the potential of written notation. Key essays and previously hard-to-find texts are included alongside new interviews and statements from leading figures in the field, making this a valuable resource for anyone looking to understand the power of verbal notation.
