Extractions: The quartet tracks are simply mindblowing: each of these four musicians deploys a veritable arsenal of extended techniques that would be the envy of any classically-trained composer (if s/he could figure out a way to notate them), from supersoft silky harmonics ("The End of the Beginning") via col legno flutterings and skitterings across the body of instrument to gritty excessive bow pressure (forget the genteel musique spectrale and check this out for overtone content!) and ultra-high sul ponticello screeches ("Fermage"). This music maps a territory somewhere between the Webern "Bagatelles" and the quartets of Lachenmann and Spahlinger, but with the ferocious energy of early Boulez (and is as much a demonstration of what Fred Frith has called "virtuoso listening" as it is of virtuoso playing). Forget the Kronos Quartet (they don't need your money any more) and invest in this without delay.

Extractions: Was it an outdoor experience? I'm not sure, and who cares? But when I was new music critic for the Village Voice in the '80s, I remember being invited to a private event, somebody playing his sax in an abandoned building in the East Village. This was magical, the site, the debris, the resonance of the sound, the surprise, the claiming of temporary echoing territory. My most memorable outdoor musical experience, though not a premiere, but I'm not keeping score was at the Amnesty International tour in '88 or '89, when it came to the Los Angeles Coliseum. One of the singers was Tracy Chapman, whose first album was just out, and a huge hit. When she alone on stage with just her guitar, in front of 90,000 people started "Talking 'Bout A Revolution" (do I remember the title right?), voices throughout the huge space started singing along softly, in the twilight. Simply magical. Second to that would surely be the summer in the '60s when the Four Seasons' "Rag Doll" was the No. 1 pop hit. I remember being at the beach, and hearing people on all sides of me turn their radios up when that song came on. We in classical music sometimes forget the power of community, the way it underlines the meaning and value of music. On the beach (near Boston; can't remember exactly which beach) that summer day, the community temporary and limited as it might have been was so tangible you could taste it.

Extractions: April 5, 1998 "Dead nations never rise again." These are the concluding words of the long poem, "The Jewish Cemetery at Newport" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882). At a Merkin Hall concert by the Washington Square Contemporary Music Society (founded 1975), Bruce J. Taub's musical setting of it received its world premiere, sung with noble perseverance by soprano Cheryl Marshall, accompanied by pianist Marilyn Nonken, and dedicated by the composer to his "family I never met who were shot and buried in a mass grave when the Nazis invaded Husiyatin, Poland on July 6, 1941." Most of the setting is straight, quick, syllabic, and square [(in 4/4 time)]. The words of the last line, however, receive five different melodic treatments, ending with a final repetition of the hindsightfully redolent words, "never... again." The verbal manipulation is a gimmick, but one that could work, especially with a little pruning of the 60 lines of text. Ms. Marshall and Ms. Nonken were joined by violinist Deborah Wong and cellist Gregory Hesselink in another world premiere of a more texturally varied, at times quasi-impressionistic setting by Robert Carl (b. 1954) of an even older text, in French, by the philosopher Blaise Pascal (1623-1662), based on his Pensees. Unfortunately, only the first half of the text was printed in the program, so it was hard to follow the last four or so of the eight(?) movements. The use of cello tremolandi and pianistic explosions were, however, particularly effective in the early sections.

Extractions: Not all contemporary settings are so novel. "Three Songs on Poems of Louise Bogan" (1989), a work by the young American composer David Rakowski (b. 1958), is more traditionally set for voice and piano. While these songs are direct descendants of the lieder and chansons of the previous century, they reveal the emotional rawness and candor of their texts in a confessional manner unthinkable even fifty years ago. "Late" is a study in disaffection and alienation, a vocal line that stuns with its cool apathy. In "Cassandra," composure turns to unchecked frustration and rage of one to whom no one listens. The singer articulates the words in speech-like fashion, in fuming recitative, as the piano offers hollow support. Harmonically lush and inviting, Rakowski's music is also extraordinarily tactile. "To Be Sung on the Water" shares the buoyancy of other water pieces, like Debussy's La Mer, Schoenberg's "Farben," Op. 16 No. 3 ("Summer Morning on a Lake"), and Schubert's "Auf Dem Wasser zu singen." It embodies musically the strong rhythmic drive of Bogan's text.
