Description
Vocalise for Soprano, Flute and Piano by Henry Cowell
Includes one performance score
Duration: 8:00
The composer suggests using “ah” throughout the vocal line. The six contrasting sections contain rhythmical freedom and rubato as well as more precise rhythmic flow. The vocal line is basically traditional with a few sections of modern notation for accents that emphasize certain metric beats. These accents must be stressed heavily by sudden thrusts of the diaphragm. The coordination is a bit tricky, but the plaintive beauty of this piece is memorable.
