Blake Fragments was written for performance in Frank Lloyd Wright's iconic Guggenheim Museum in New York City and calls for the solo voices to be placed in various positions on the concentric rings that rise up from the centralrotunda. In subsequent performances this configuration will generally be impossible, but the soloist arrangement that was used is included should performers like to respond in some fashion to the original arrangement. The piecemay be performed with the four soloists singing within the main chorus, though some spacial separation, on a single level, or additionally using a balcony or backstage, might better dupicate the original intentions. To allowfordifferent positions, the four solo parts may be sung by more than four choral members (in the premiere there were two different sopranos covering the soprano part.)
Every human heart has gates of brass & bars of adamant
They told me I had five senses to inclose me up
How do you know but ev'ry Bird that cuts the airy way
If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite
One thought fills immensity
They told me I had five senses to inclose me up
How do you know but ev'ry Bird that cuts the airy way
If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite
One thought fills immensity
