Music for the voice alone invites us to listen differently. Without harmony or accompaniment to guide our ears, every contour, breath, and vocal gesture takes on its own significance. On this episode of Relevant Tones, host Stephen Anthony Rawson explores music for the unaccompanied voice, featuring works by Morton Feldman, John Cage, Gráinne Mulvey, Enno Poppe, Erin Gee, Giacinto Scelsi, Jean-Christophe Rosaz, Luciano Berio, and Meredith Monk. Through these extraordinary works, we’re invited to hear not only the limitless expressive potential of a single voice, but perhaps even the unexpected musicality of the many voices we encounter every day. Featured Music - Only, Morton Feldman - Eight Whiskus, John Cage - Eternity is Now, Gráinne Mulvey - Wespe, Enno Poppe - Mouthpiece I, Erin Gee - Hô, Giacinto Scelsi - Alphabet, Jean-Christophe Rosaz - Sequenza III, Luciano Berio - Lullaby, Meredith Monk","meta_description":"The voice is our oldest and most familiar instrument, yet composers continue to discover astonishing new possibilities within it.
