Here we find, for example, psychodrama, esoteric symbolism, and ritual processes   all articulated in macro- and micro-structures based on the irrational elasticity of the prime-number series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMute Hand Music: micro-opera  for a waking dreamer . For soprano, alto flute doubling bass flute, and piano. Diagnosis:  She has lost her bearings . This brief theatrical work is scored for soprano, alto\/bass flutes, and piano. Its libretto is a 1992 dream-poem by the composer. The setting is (perhaps) a mental institution and the (possible) in-patient is clearly schizophrenic. What is not clear, however, is the character-identity of the flutist and pianist   doctor, therapist, another patient?... or figments of the schizophrenic s imagination? As in the earlier micro-opera MeMarie, the soprano often alternates between singing and sprechstimme.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSingle score.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"American Composers Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46968248303910,"sku":"ACACAMW036S","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/products\/B0000ACACAMW036S_d.jpg?v=1697507474","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/cameron-wolfe-r-mute-hand-muse","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
