Satie: Socrate; Cage: Cheap Imitation
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Satie's Socrate is a "symphonic drama," in the composer's words, although it's scored for soprano and piano. An adaptation of Platonic dialogues, it demonstrates an altogether childlike simplicity that is entirely charming, and the rich voice of alto Hilke Helling conveys the unmediated sincerity of Satie's conception. The work by Cage that follows--wonderfully titled Cheap Imitation--is a reworking of Satie's composition. Cage distilled Satie's work to a single melodic line for piano with the help of the Taoist oracle I Ching. This radical music makes Socrate seem positively Baroque in comparison. --Joshua Cody --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
