Description
The Hill has Something to Say – Soprano, Piano & Amphora Version
“The Hill has Something to Say” is Craig Harris’ composition for Soprano, Piano & Amphora, based on a poem by renowned poet Rita Dove. The poem expresses the depth and meaning of all that has unfolded through time on the hill, and reinforces the thread that holds all time together in us.
This composition was commissioned for soprano Renée Fleming, and premiered in 2000 at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center, with Richard Bado on piano, on a concert of live American composers.
“The Hill has Something to Say” was originally written for Soprano, Piano and Amphora. The Amphora instrument is comprised of a group of soundscape tracks based on blown bottle tones, that are triggered by computer or sampler, either on stage by performers or offstage by a soundscape operator. Renée Fleming triggered the soundscape cues herself onstage on a laptop computer for the premiere performance. The Amphora could also be performed live by a digital keyboard utilizing an appropriate sound setting, or even by an additional piano. Some dynamic markings would not be relevant in the case of performance by an additional piano.
