(Limelight). Written between the late '30s and the early '90s,
these pieces by John Cage here acquire the permanence they deserve.
Some have never been published before. Many appeared only in
magazines, journals, and catalogues; others in concert programs and
on record covers. Also included are the texts of lectures and of
crucial importance to the appreciation of his music Cage's notes on
the performance of his compositions, courtesy of his music
publisher, C.F. Peters.
Cage voices his concerns on the nature and future of music, they
ways of dancers, the West's interpretation of Eastern ideas in this
thought provoking collection of anecdotes and epigrams.
This selection of over five hundred letters gives us the life of
John Cage with all the intelligence, wit, and inventiveness that
made him such an important and groundbreaking composer and
performer. The missives range from lengthy reports of his early
trips to Europe in the 1930s through his years with the dancer
Merce Cunningham, and shed new light on his growing eminence as an
iconic performance artist of the American avant-garde. Cage's joie
de vivre resounds in these letters - fully annotated throughout -
in every phase of his career, and includes correspondence with
Peter Yates, David Tudor, and Pierre Boulez, among others. Above
all, they reveal his passionate interest in people, ideas, and the
arts. The voice is one we recognize from his writings: singular,
profound, irreverent, and funny. Not only will readers take
pleasure in Cage's correspondence with and commentary about the
people and events of a momentous and transformative time in the
arts, they will also share in his meditations on the very nature of
art. A deep pleasure to read, this volume presents an extraordinary
portrait of a complex, brilliant man who challenged and changed the
artistic currents of the twentieth century.
American organist Gary Verkade plays all of John Cage's works for
organ: 'The Harmony of Maine', 'Souvenir', 'ASLSP', and
'Organ2/ASLSP'. Also included is a bonus performance of the
composition '4'33'.
