From leaning forward
fir Sopran mit Bariton, Klarinette/Bafklarinette und Violoncello
von Christian Wolff
The eight poems set are drawn from the three parts of
Grace Paley's collection Leaning Forward (published in 1985),
including, to start and finish with, the poems located first
and last.
Transpositions of the music to accommodate the voice(s)
can be made. The manner of singing should be direct and
simple, like that of folksong or early music singing.
