Flow of Memory, The

For mezzo-soprano, flute, bass clarinet, violin & piano. An earlier work by a young Schickele, The Flow of Memory is a glimpse of what might have been, had the composer not developed into a different "voice." Atonal and a-tempo, the work is crafted for five almost individual performances by the ensemble, "each of whom proceeds in their own tempo," according to Schickele. The phrases surface and disappear, as fleeting as memory itself. For advanced performers. Duration: ca. 7'. Score and parts.
