Monody I

Perle, G

George Perle presents Monody I for flute alone. In Perle's carefully-constructed compositional style,the Monody quickly unfurls from a string of notes into a clear, open entity. Duration: 6'.

'George Perle rarely writes music with words; his compositions are exquisitely formulated solutions to musical problems that are best confronted in their abstract state. Of all the American modernist composers to emerge after World War II, he has proved to be the most delectable craftsman; he won the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 1986 for his Wind Quintet No. 4. He has also authored definitive texts on the music of Schoenberg, Webern, Scriabin, Bartok, and, especially, Berg. The eminence of George Perle the expositor and theorist is so high that it may have diverted some attention away from his own compositional output. To miss the music, though, would be a mistake, according to the critic Andrew Porter, who lauds 'the vividness of [Perle s] melodic gestures, the lively rhythmic sense, the clarity and shapeliness of his discourse and, quite simply, the charm and grace of his utterance.''
