Work Documentation of Faye Shapiro

These three songs were made with a bigger emphasis on the piano as a rythmic tool. I wanted them to “work”. To be like songs one sings when one works. I also tried to make them happier than the older ones. That’s the hardest thing.

The simple beautiful text is by Rose Ausländer:

Wo bin Ich

Wo bist du

Wo seid ihr

Hier ist auch dort-

Wir kreisen ja.

• Kreislauf IV
• KreislaufIII
• Arbeitslied (colonial blues)

Done more than a year ago, I like them still, although they are all over the place and in all directions…
