Score for a multilingual solo vocal work by John Cage, Aria (1958). The lines represent general melodic contours, the colors different styles of vocal delivery; both are left to be specified by the performer, not the composer. Much is left to the singer’s imagination! John Cage, Aria by John Cage. Copyright © 1960, renewed 1988 by Henmar Press, Inc. Used by permission C.F. Peters Corporation. All rights reserved.
