SKU: PR.141401030

Composed by Ruth Crawford Seeger. This edition: saddle-wire stitch. Sws. Performance Score. 24 pages. Duration 0:09:00. Theodore Presser Company #141-40103. Published by Theodore Presser Company (PR.141401030).

ISBN 9781491131657. UPC: 680160679997. 9 x 12 inches. English. Poems by H.T. Tsiang, originally published in "The Daily Worker" (1928).

Ruth Crawford was a pioneering subversive in both American music and socioeconomic politics. In 1932 she discovered H.T.Tsiang’s polemic poetry in The Daily Worker (a NYC-based Communist journal), and two poems leapt out as dramatically expressing oppression of the proletariat by the bourgeoisie, showing internal class struggle even within immigrant communities. This is the genesis of the songs “Sacco, Vanzetti” and “Chinaman, Laundryman.” Musically, Crawford’s rigorous modernism not only serialized pitches, but other elements as well. This explains the slightly surprising title TWO RICERCARE, a reference to the Renaissance precursor of fugue.

Nice edition of two difficult to find works.
These works are not easy to find, and the edition is good.
