It was the year 1982. Paris in June. International Rostrum Of Composers. My programme-note to my ” THREE PIECES FOR ORCHESTRA ” ( ” Pictures from My Exhibition” ) was:
” These 3 pictures were composed over six years ago, 2´., 4´. and 6´. Tiny intervallic cells growing, expanding, dying. ” Easy.
I had in ” HIS LANGUAGE , SO FAMILIAR AND FOREIGN, as it happened just written about James Joyce´s ( ” il miglior fabbro” , cinnte ! – The best Irish composer of them all…. ) May 1907 lecture on Irish literature at Trieste University : ” Irish Literature” , lectured he, ” is divided into five chapters and two major divisions, Irish literature in Irish and Irish literature in English.”
Easy.
I´ll find an echo of this in my own Muthesius Kunsthochschule 2006 Lecture on my ” QUASI UNA MISSA” ; it´s published in 2007 ” Acoustic Turn” ( Fink-Verlag ) . Easy.
“A NEW HISTORY OF IRELAND” ( O.U.P., Ed. D. ´O Cróinín ) has,
in Vol. VII, Joseph Ryan ( ” Music In Ireland”, p. 647 ) on Frank Corcoran.
Easy.
