Concept Music
Lloyd-Howells, David
About the work
Concept music is a set of text music events created especially with the non-musician in mind. The five text scores in the collection form the verbal-sonic counterpoint to the Composer’s magnum opus, “The Art of Listening”. The hands on creativity in both works allows for personal and group discovery and experimentation.
Technical notes
Each of the text-scores in the collection can be performed by any number of performers up to 40. Each contains instructions for generating and experimenting with musical sounds – e.g. on drawing a particular card from a pack, the instruction might be sing as if happily back in childhood, or humming whilst walking about with hands together in prayer, and so on.
