The following is a list linksand other resources relating to EVT. If you know of anything useful out there that you think should be added to this list, please send me an email.
There is a link to a brief general bibliography here
Cathy Berberian
Cristina Berio, Berberian’s daughter, has launched a website devoted to Cathy and her work at www.cathyberberian.com. The site is currently under development
This is a linkto an interview with Cathy Berberian given sometime after 1966 (precise date unknown). The interviewer is Meirion Bowen, a musician, lecturer and writer.
There is also a recent article by David Osmond Smith in the journal Tempo,“The Tenth Oscillator: the work of Cathy Berberian 1958–1966” Tempo (2004), vol.58 pp2-13 Cambridge University Press; and a biography (in French) by Marie-Christine Vila, Cathy Berberian, Cant’atrice (2003)
Other resources include Joke Dame’s essay “Voices within the Voice: geno-text adn pheno-text in Berio’s Sequenza III” in Adam Krims (ed) Music/ Ideology: resisting the aesthetic (OPA, Amsterdam 1998)
There is a conference in April 2006 in Amsterdam entirely devoted to Berberian’s work, repertoire and legacy. Details here.
Above is the link to Monk’s own website. Also, follow this link to the article A Voice in Motion, originally published in Dance magazine in 2001
Bosma is an electroacoustic composer and author who has written a variety of very interesting articles on gender issues in electroacoustic music, particularly on the use of male and female voices.
Roy Hart is one of the relatively few men in the field of EVT repertoire: there are others, but he is the "Big Name", being the singer for who Maxwell Davies wrote Eight Songs for a Mad King. Hart died in in 1975, but the Roy Hart Theatre is still going strong in France. This site has a variety of articles in both French and English.
Still an official Roy Hart Theatre site, but some areas are still under construction. Some good articles and lots of images, and you can now buy CDs, including the original reocrding made by Hart of 8 Songs.
The official website, with lots of information and articles about his life and work, and all the poeple who have worked with him or simply written about him (including me - I get a one liner as "an English musicologist"...). Among other articles in the essays section of the site, you will find my paper on "Eight Songs for a Mad King: madness and the theatre of cruelty".
James Joyce: Hypermedia Joyce Studies
This journal publishes essays on Joyce. Timothy S. Murphy’s essay on Music after Joyce (Summer 1999 edition) discusses Cage, Berio and Berberian, among others.
