The Naomi Songs

for amplified voice and sextet (2015) Text by Bill Knott Version correct as of: August 12, 2017

Outburst-Inburst Musics Brooklyn, NY

k k

ENSEMBLE Flute Clarinet in B-flat (doubling Bass Clarinet) Percussion (5 Octave Marimba and Vibraphone) Piano Amplified Voice Violin Cello

PREMIERE

May 15, 2015 The Curis R. Priem Experimental Music and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC) Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Troy, NY David Alan Miller, conductor Theo Bleckmann, voice Commissioned by the Albany Symphony Orchestra with Funds Provided by the Music Alive Residency Program of New Music USA Text used with the kind permission of Robert Fanning, executor of the William Knott Estate.

This version specially created for the Pittsburgh New Music Ensemble, Summer 2017

AMPLIFICATION AND PROCESSING The singer should be amplified throughout with a fairly generous amount of reverb on his or her voice. He or she is asked to loop his voice in the third movement. In the case of the premiere the singer used a hardware looping and reverb set up. The composer also provides a simple application built in Max/MSP. If looping is not possible, the electronics part can be performed by two additional singers as an obbligato part. An appendix appears in the back with this version.

This part can also be prerecorded by the singer rather than looped live.

All other instruments may be gently amplified as well, with reverb.

VOICE This piece was originally composed for Theo Bleckmann, a singer between the jazz and new music worlds. The vocal style he uses—largely vibrato-less, amplified, and non-operatic in style is appropriate.

PERCUSSION The Vibraphone and Marimba should be set up in an L formation with the bottom left corner of the Vibe meeting the Marimba around G3

TEXTS I The beach holds and sifts us through her dreaming fingers Summer fragrances green between your legs At night, naked auras cool the waves Vanished O Naomi I kiss every body of you, every face II I left a right where the nipple cheeps kiss in each nest of the black bra hung inside your bathroom door.

III When our hands are alone, they open, like faces. There is no shore to their opening.

IV What language will be safe When we lie awake all night Saying palm words, no fingertip words— This wound searching us for a voice Will become a fountain with rooms to let.

—Bill Knott, from All My Thoughts are the Same Thought

commissioned by the Albany Symphony Orchestra, David Alan Miller, music director with funds provided by the Music Alive Residency Program of New Music USA this version created specially for the Pittsburgh New Music Ensemble, Summer 2017, Peterborough, NH
