Description

For amplified cello and prerecorded electronics. A Thousand Tongues was commissioned by cellist and vocalist Jody Redhage.

This piece is a short but intense response to the following text by Stephen Crane: Yes, I have a thousand tongues, / And nine and ninety-nine lie. / Though I strive to use the one, / It will make no melody at my will, / But is dead in my mouth. — Missy Mazzoli

The electronics file contains two tracks:

  1. Electronics, click, and voice: for the performer's use in-ear
  2. Electronics with voice for amplification to accompany the performer: the audience hears this track with the recorded voice
Jody Redhage (singing and playing in the original version)
