SOPRANO AND PERCUSSION
Program Notes:
Dialogues for soprano and percussion was composed as a semi-theatrical composition, not to be acted. Talking Doll is a short satire about humans who act like machines for the sake of formality. The word Sargam in Indian music means Solfège. The syllables sa, re, ma, ga, pa, dha (not used here), and ni are equivalent to our do, re, mi. Shadowphobia, as the name implies, deals with the relationship between a person and his or her shadow.
