It is rather curiously what it is. None of it was written for such a context and I recognise there is the possibility of over-saturation. As with all my projects since , I have commissioned three composers to write works for the occasion, and it has been a privilege to work on new pieces by Stephen Chase, Tim Parkinson and Michael Parsons.

To these I am extremely grateful and encouraged at a time when funding for the arts can never be taken for granted. Rhythms and dynamics are fully and complexly notated as are the at times lengthy silences which separate groups. Nine pitches in total are used and these are combined with a range of 13 different durations and nine different dynamics. Other works exploring the same idea use considerably less material, such as the Serenade which contains only three pitches.

Arguably his open scores of the previous decade were implicitly highly political in their very open-ness, allowing considerable performer freedom and creating social contexts within which music may be forged through dialogue verbally and in sound through performance. A fragment of the tune is heard near the beginning, but is mostly subjected to a sequence of variations. Matters of dynamics, pacing and tempo, articulation of sound and silence are left to the pianist to decide upon.

It takes as its inspiration the successful and famous mill strike of the same year in Lawrence, Massachusetts, in which 20, workers, many of whom were women, striked tirelessly against cuts in pay. Bread and roses! Our lives shall not be sweated from birth until life closes; Hearts starve as well as bodies; give us bread, but give us roses! As we come marching, marching, unnumbered women dead Go crying through our singing their ancient cry for bread.

Small art and love and beauty their drudging spirits knew. Yes, it is bread we fight for -- but we fight for roses, too!

As we come marching, marching, we bring the greater days. The rising of the women means the rising of the race. No more the drudge and idler -- ten that toil where one reposes, But a sharing of life's glories: Bread and roses! The Seven Haiku use related material but in shorter phrases and restricted densities. Each piece lasts only three bars, which are spaced across the page consistently, spanning only the lower portion of each page.

However, tempi are different for each so though they cover the same amount of notation space, they are not consistent with regard to duration. One further difference is that far fewer dynamics are notated and there are no tempo indications, leaving much more up to the performer to decide.

Tim Parkinson piano piece Starting from nothing except just the idea of the sounds from the instrument, and the possibility of anything. From this starting point, then tracing a path through this limitless field of constant possibility. Focussing on the present. Every moment in the piece as a beginning. Wolff also asks for the pianist to pluck, mute, strike, snap the strings and utilise other means of modifying the timbre. It is a fully notated work and as such brings to a close the first period of his compositional style, before ushering in the indeterminate works for which he is more known such as the Duo for Pianists I and II, which feature a unique kind of coded notation to be realised by the performer both in advance and in the performance moment.

For Piano with Preparations is very much about the piano, forsaking more traditional aspects of pianism for a notational complexity which invites the pianist and listener to focus attention on the immediacy of each sound and take delight in the resulting nuances of colour and timbre. Unlike many of the piano works, they are in a more serious vein, with none of the surreal and witty comments which decorate scores such as the Gnossiennes and Sonatine beaurocratique.

Harmonically they each follow a set of rules which govern the possible note combinations. However, in comparison to many other piano works by Satie these beautiful pieces are beguilingly complex in their melodic and harmonic direction. Like other experimental composers, Satie has proven to be a key influence upon Wolff and his musical language, and he has commented that the Nocturnes are particular favourites.

I will not walk with you nor walk for you, I won't live with you And I won't die for you But neither will I try to deny you Your right to live and die. I am a dangerous woman because I will tell you, sir, whether you are concerned or not, Masculinity has made of this world a living hell A furnace burning away at hope, love, faith, and justice, A furnace of My Lais, Hiroshimas, Dachaus.

A furnace which burns the babies You tell us we must make Masculinity made Femininity Made the eyes of our women go dark and cold, sent our sons - yes sir, our sons - To War Made our children go hungry Made our mothers whores Made our bombs, our bullets, our 'Food for Peace', our definitive solutions and first strike policies Yes sir Masculinity broke women and men on its knee Took away our futures Made our hopes, fears, thoughts and good instincts 'irrelevant to the larger struggle'.

An open question. Yes sir And it has possessed you. I am a dangerous woman because I will say all this lying neither to you nor with Neither trusting nor despising you. God Bless.
