This is the 1st movement of a larger piece for my electronic, hand-played, e-percussion orchestra. The text of the poem is below, in English, together with the German original.

RILKE & MUSIC? I should say here, that I very much dislike hearing the amazingly sonorous, resonant verse of Rilke set to music. [I get requests all the time for my English translations, and I always, in a hopefully gentle way, try to discourage people.] This is because the music is already very powerfully THERE, in the music of the poem itself. So the original natural music of the poem is what is lost once the music is added. With this soundpoem cycle, however, I'm trying something else. I do the poems as I hear them as a poem, not as song, and then, I've composed a space--a kind of landscape, really--around them. This seems to complement the movement of meaning of the poems that leaves the spirit of the urtext intact.

Title Page

It's easy for the rich and fortunate to be silent, nobody wants to know who they are. That is why the destitute must show themselves, must say: I am blind, or: that is what I'm about to become, or: it's not going very well with me here on Earth, or: I have a sick child, or: this is where I'm kind of all stuck together . . .

And perhaps even that is not enough.

Despite everything, as if they were things, people walk right by, and so they must sing.

And one hears good music there.

Truly, people are strange; They'd rather hear castrati in boys' choirs.

But God himself comes and remains a long time when these disfigured ones begin to disturb him.

Rainer Maria Rilke (tr. CLIFF CREGO)

Titelblatt

Die Reichen und Glücklichen haben gut schweigen, niemand will wissen, was sie sind. Aber die Dürftigen müßen sich zeigen, müßen sagen: ich bin blind, oder: ich bin im Begriff es zu werden oder: es geht mir nicht gut auf Erden, oder: ich habe ein krankes Kind, oder: da bin ich zusammengefügt . . .

Und vielleicht, daß das gar nicht genügt.

Und weil alle sonst, wie an Dingen, an ihen vorbeigehen, müßen sie singen.

Und da hört man noch guten Gesang.

Freilich die Menchen sind seltsam; sie hören lieber Kastraten in Knabenchören.

Aber Gott selber kommt und bleibt lang, wenn ihn diese Beschnittenen stören.
