Published by The Dallas Morning News to announce and celebrate the premiere performance of John Cage's "Seven" as part of The Fifteenth Anniversary Season of the Voices of Change Ensemble. For a pioneering and ground-breaking group exclusively dedicated to new music, in deeply conservative Texas of all places, a truly admirable and moving milestone. Using otherwise conventional instruments (that are sometimes altered), they performed pieces by John Cage, Alexander Chaikovsky, Donald Grantham, and Henry Brant, among other 20th-century composers, over two unforgettable evenings. Cage was, unquestionably, the most influential and celebrated of the present group of composers (who were still living at the time). Aaron Copland and Igor Stravinsky were also performed in a separate concert. The Cage commission, "Seven", is named after the piece's seven instruments (flute, clarinet, percussion, violin, viola, cello, and piano), and marks the unconventional composer's return to conventional Classical Music instruments. "When I was young, you could either follow Stravinsky or Schoenberg. I chose Schoenberg. But if you imitate Schoenberg, what have you got? More Schoenberg. What we have now is an art based on many possibilities instead of one or 32. Our notion of what is beautiful has more windows into it" (John Cage). An absolute "must-have" title for John Cage collectors. This copy of the Souvenir Printout is very boldly and beautifully signed in purple pen-marker by John Cage. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. John Cage made a rare appearance for the performance of the piece that he composed for the Ensemble. This title is a late-modern classic. This is the only such signed copy available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare, one-of-a-kind signed copy thus.
