NEW anti-imperialist quarantine reading from Primary Information! 'Stockhausen Serves Imperialism and Other Articles' by Cornelius Cardew. ⁠⠀ A notorious, influential and radical (ie, Marxist) critique of the avant-garde music of Stockhausen and Cage, by maverick composer Cornelius Cardew, originally published in 1974.⁠⠀ A former assistant to Stockhausen and an early champion of Cage, Cardew provides a cutting rebuke of the composers, their work and their ideological positions (Cage’s staged anarchism and Stockhausen’s theatrical mysticism, in particular). Cardew considers the role of these composers and their works within the development of the 20th-century avant-garde, which he saw as reinforcing an imperialist order rather than spotlighting the struggles of the working class or spurring revolution against bourgeois oppression.⁠⠀ Cardew’s early works do not escape his own scrutiny. After abandoning the avant-garde, Cardew devoted his work to the people’s struggle, creating music in service of his radical politics. This music mostly took the form of class-conscious arrangements of folk songs and melodic piano works with such titles as “Revolution is the Main Trend” and “Smash the Social Contract.” Cardew maintained a critical cultural stance throughout his life, later going on to denounce David Bowie and punk rock as fascist. He was killed by a hit-and-run driver in 1981—a death that some speculate could have been an assassination by the English government’s MI5.⁠⠀ Supplementing Cardew’s writings are two essays by his Scratch Orchestra collaborators Rod Eley and John Tilbury.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Please order from your local independent bookstore.

Cornelius Cardew's The Great Learning was originally composed for the Scratch Orchestra, an ensemble of non-trained musicians who interpreted verbal and graphic scores, and who were active from 1969-1974. Paragraph 7 from The Great Learning is a verbal score composed of 24 lines of text. Each line indicates a new word or phrase, and is repeated a different number of times and at different amplitude levels, as indicated in the score. Members of the choir choose a new pitch for each new line, always matching pitches that are already sounding in the room; they introduce a previously unheard pitch when no new pitch can be found or sung from the existing group of pitches.
