John Cage - Litany for the Whale (1980)

[Zebedee428106]

I hope the whale enjoyed it's "litany"!

p.s.Have you composed a litany for any other animal, or do you specialise in the aquatic?

In contination from the bottom of the page(I haven't quite got the hang of the keyboard as you may have guessed!)

1980, radical in it's day perhaps, but disappointing in it's vocal content.

P.s. It was Mrs Bennett, no relation to The Theatre of Voices Alan Bennett that had the problem with depression.

Is Susan Philipsz swimming underwater,singing with a rather large mammal?

Or is this what Alan Bennett sounds like when he's suffering with another bout of depression?
