The Fall of the Empire (Rzewski) - performed by Mason Lynass

Here's my recording of The Fall of the Empire, Frederic Rzewski's eight movement speaking percussionist solo, originally composed for Allen Otte in 2007.
You can find the score for The Fall of the Empire here: imslp.simssa.c...
(don't worry I know I missed some notes)
I gave a virtual lecture recital in May 2020 and talked about a few movements of this work, you can check that out here: • The Fall of the Empire...
I recorded all of the audio & video myself at Meany Hall at the University of Washington, and edited video in June 2020.
