Description
For amplified violin and prerecorded electronics. A Thousand Tongues was originally 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:
- Electronics, click, and voice - for the performer's use in-ear
- Electronics with voice for amplification to accompany the performer: the audience hears this track with the recorded voice
