3. Song of Myself Singer Dialog

Ensemble Cues

A. SOPRANO: You’re okay. (6x) MEZZO: No you’re not. (3x) No you’re not okay.

→ Chorus members are silent.

B. SOPRANO: You’re okay. (7x) MEZZO:

No you’re not. (3x) No you’re not okay. No you’re not okay you’re not okay. No you’re not okay (Soprano joins without pause)

→ As soon as the soprano says “You’re okay” one time, each member of the chorus begins to speak the text of the poem* from beginning to end, staggering entrances by 1-3 seconds. Each member should use their natural speaking voice and should deliver the text at a comfortable, natural pace, pausing to breathe as appropriate.

C. BOTH SINGERS IN UNISON: you’re not okay you’re not okay. (Soprano immediately continues without breathing) SOPRANO: You’re not okay you’re not okay. (growing more insistent) No you’re not okay you’re not okay. You’re not okay you’re not okay. You’re not okay, okay? MEZZO: SOPRANO: MEZZO: SOPRANO: MEZZO:

→When both singers speak in unison, this is the cue for the chorus to begin a very slow crescendo, growing louder and more insistent (but not faster) as they speak the text. If chorus members reach the end of the poem, they should start over again at the beginning without a pause.

(Agreeably) Okay, you’re not okay. Okay, you’re not okay. You’re okay (pause) you’re not okay. You’re (pause) okay you’re not okay. Okay.

D. (Dialog becomes an argument, growing more intense, but not rushed.) SOPRANO: MEZZO: SOPRANO: MEZZO: SOPRANO: MEZZO: SOPRANO: MEZZO: SOPRANO: MEZZO:

E.

You’re okay. You’re not okay (almost interrupts) you’re okay. (insistently) You’re not okay (more insistently) you’re okay, okay? Okay, (interrupts, switches roles) you’re not okay you’re okay. You’re okay (almost angrily) you’re not okay. You’re okay you’re okay. Okay? (addresses chorus, loudly)

→ Chorus grows louder and more insistent that they be heard, beginning to compete with the singers in volume. If a chorus member finds they have reached the end of the poem, they should restart the poem without pause.

→In response to this “okay” from the mezzo, chorus members abruptly drop from almost yelling to loud whispers, regardless of where they are in the poem’s text. Over 3-12 seconds, chorus members gradually switch from whispering the text of the poem to creating the unpitched sounds indicated in section E (see below).

(guided improvisation; duration: approximately 35-55 seconds)

ALL MEMBERS OF THE ENSEMBLE: this section is shaped by the pianist, who will execute a series of unpitched gestures: 3-5 long sustained scratching sounds that begin quietly, crescendo to a loud dynamic, and then fade away, with a pause between each “scratch.” These gestures are followed by a final sustained scratch that starts abruptly ff and gradually fades to silence. SOPRANO: inhales and exhales loudly, with a cadence that suggests a panic attack or the aftermath of intense weeping. MEZZO turns away from the soprano, silent; mid-way through the section, begins to quietly let air through almost-closed teeth, in a “shhhhh” sound. CHORUS staggered entrances; alternating long breaths of air and unpitched sounds with a sense of swelling with periods of silence. Unpitched sounds may include white noise effects such as clicking/tapping sounds/shuffling/creaking/scraping. Chorus may also make sounds on the body of the piano with permission from the pianist. PIANO scratches two lowest strings (or lowest within easy reach) with fingernail while holding down damper pedal; may also scratch/tap metal or wood parts of the instrument.

As cello fades, all chorus members fade also; piano continues to hold down damper pedal. Soprano’s breathing calms. Once soprano is breathing normally again, singers resume dialog.

G. MEZZO: subdued)

(calmly, in a normal speaking voice, somewhat

You’re okay. (6x) SOPRANO: (spoken in a quasi-whisper) No you’re not. (3x) No you’re not okay. MEZZO: You’re okay. (7x) SOPRANO: No you’re not. (3x) No you’re not okay. No you’re not okay you’re not okay. No you’re not okay (Mezzo joins without pause) (SIMULTANEOUSLY) SOPRANO: you’re not okay you’re not okay. MEZZO: you’re okay you’re okay (Soprano immediately continues without breathing)

→ As soon as the mezzo says “You’re okay” one time, each chorus member begins to whisper “you’re okay” repeatedly, staggering entrances by 3-5 seconds. Each person should whisper as audibly as possible but without straining and should deliver the text at a comfortable, natural pace, pausing to breathe as appropriate.

H. SOPRANO: You’re not okay you’re not okay. (growing more insistent but not louder) No you’re not okay you’re not okay. You’re not okay you’re not okay. You’re not okay, okay? MEZZO: (Agreeably) Okay, SOPRANO: (Interrupts) you’re not okay. Okay, you’re not okay. MEZZO: You’re okay SOPRANO: (pause) you’re not okay. MEZZO: (No pause) You’re okay SOPRANO: (pause) you’re not okay. MEZZO: Okay.

I. MEZZO: SOPRANO: MEZZO: SOPRANO: MEZZO:

You’re okay You’re not okay (quietly confident) you’re okay. (more quietly) You’re not okay (more insistently) you’re okay, okay? Okay, SOPRANO: (whispers) you’re not okay MEZZO: you’re okay. You’re okay SOPRANO: (almost inaudible) you’re not okay. MEZZO:

→Chorus members’ whispers gradually fading. By the final “okay?” spoken by the Mezzo, everyone else should be completely silent.

(reassuring) You’re okay (brief pause) you’re okay. (longer pause) Okay?

THE END *Poem text for chorus to read: You’re okay. (6x) No you’re not. (3x) No you’re not okay. You’re okay. (7x) No you’re not. (3x) No you’re not okay (2x) you’re not okay. No you’re not okay You’re not okay you’re not okay. No you’re not okay you’re not okay. You’re not okay you’re not okay. You’re not okay, okay? Okay, you’re not okay. Okay, you’re not okay. You’re okay (pause) you’re not okay. You’re (pause) okay you’re not okay. Okay You’re okay. You’re not okay you’re okay. You’re not okay you’re okay, okay? Okay, you’re not okay you’re okay. You’re okay you’re not okay. You’re okay you’re okay. Okay? (start again from the top of the poem)
