Voice Piece for Soprano
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Voice Piece for Soprano is a 1961 vocal composition by the Japanese artist and musician Yoko Ono.
The score for the piece consists of the word 'scream' with three options for screaming given to the performer; to scream 'against the wind', 'against the wall' and 'against the sky'.[1]
The theorist G Douglas Barrett in his 2016 book After Sound: Toward a Critical Music described the repetition of the word 'against' in the score for Vocal Piece for Soprano as redoubling "the screams singularly confrontational, antagonistic, and contrarian quality".[1]
