Letters to a Young Poet (2013)
Rilke’s Letters to a Young Poet was the inspiration for this work and those familiar with the correspondence will recall its frequent invocation of "inexpressibility, and mysteriousness" as important aspects surrounding artistic inspiration, production, and the life of individual works. At first, I had intended to include the one poem published with the letters, a poem by Franz Kappus, the young student who initiated the correspondence with Rilke; but as the work came into being, it became increasingly clear that the inclusion of that text or any text for that matter would intrude on the expressiveness of the music. Letters to a Young Poet was commissioned by Dr. Júlio Ribeiro Alves professor of guitar at Marshall University. MZ
Julió Alves: In Letters to a Young Poet, Mark Zanter reveals, through a complex mosaic of sonorities played by the guitar and the violin, the correspondence between anguished apprentice Franz Kappus and disquiet Rainer Maria Rilke, a poet still wrestling to find his own artistic identity. While the main focus is the dialogue between them, the notion of embracing solitude as a conditio sine qua non for finding out the purest form of artistic expression is also approached during the solo sections played by each instrument. The intricacies of the parts, individually and together, indicate that the role of each instrument in this correspondence was purposefully left undecided, allowing both the violin and the guitar to be either "the apprentice" or "the poet" during different moments of the piece.
The work is suitable for advanced players. Performance materials available from the publisher: mjicmusicpublishing@gmail.com
