Music 156: Harmony & Form Lab IV

Singing

Danse de la fureur

Sing or play/sing in unison (your choice) the opening measures of Messiaen's “Danse de la fureur” from the Quartet for the End of Time. Be strict about the rhythm.

If you choose to play and sing, do not follow the piano but sing precisely together with it.

Here is a recording of the whole movement.

The Cage

Sing the melody from Ives' “The Cage”, two ways:

a) playing in unison with yourself at the piano or guitar
b) a cappella

Here is a recording with Jan DeGaetani (voice) and Gilbert Kalish (pno).
