Philip Corner – 3 for Phyllis for Some Things (1967)

Philip Corner's "3 for Phyllis for Some Things" (1967), performed by Stephanie Lavon Trotter (voice), Annie Gilbert (voice, trombone), Maxx Katz (flute, voice), Branic Howard (objects, guitar), Loren Chasse (objects, percussion), and Matt Hannafin (objects, percussion), accompanying a dance by Linda Austin and Danielle Ross. This performance was presented on night 4 of EXTRADITION PLAYS CORNER, February 11, 2023, at Performance Works NW, Portland, OR, USA. This piece was resurrected by the composer in 2008 using archived score pages and incomplete instructions. The “3” in the title references the piece’s three-part structure, “Phyllis” is dancer/choreographer Phyllis Lamhut, and “Some Things” is/are the instrumentation: “mostly natural noise sounds with possible non-sung voicing.” Our performance began with “For Numbers,” which establishes the sound world. Movement 2, “For Graphs,” includes (per instructions) two rehearsal recordings of the piece, one sped up to 200%, one slowed down to 50%. The finale (“For Proportions and Chimes”) introduces a more relaxed sound world, featuring “sustained sounds, including ‘musical’ ones.” In its original, the score’s graphs, graphics, and number strips were to be pasted over one another, but size changes in the published score created much confusion and, eventually, Photoshopping. We think we got it right, but if not, we lean on a sentence that appears toward the end of Corner’s reconstituted directions: “Any remaining ambiguities should be resolved by good sense.” EXTRADITION PLAYS CORNER was a five-concert celebration of the work of composer Philip Corner (b. 1933) presented by the Extradition Ensemble in Portland, Oregon, January 21 through February 18, 2023. Audio of this and more than 60 other works by Corner are included in EXTRADITION PLAYS CORNER: THE ALBUM, available on Bandcamp in late April 2023. Based in Portland, Oregon, Extradition is an ensemble working at the intersection of composition and improvisation, deliberation and chance, clarity and silence. https://www.extraditionpdx.com   / theextraditionseries   Videography by Seth Nehill Still photo by Glenn Sogge
