{"product_id":"9783940064653","title":"Olaf Nicolai: Escalier Du Chant","description":"\u003cp\u003eHow can songs reflect political events? How does a song become a political song? The artist Olaf Nicolai invited eleven international composers to write songs that reference political events which were of current relevance to them. Without prior announcement, a total of 58 songs were performed as a-cappella pieces on twelve Sundays in 2011 on the central staircase of the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich. Visitors to the museum found themselves as actors in a staged performance for brief instances of time. The publication \u003ci\u003eEscalier du Chant\u003c\/i\u003e presents excerpts from the songs and commentaries by the composers in the form of 58 music sheets; the accompanying booklet contains various photographs of the performances. Includes songs by Tony Conrad, Georg Friedrich Haas, Georg Katzer, Liza Lim, Samir Odeh-Tamimi, Enno Poppe with Marcel Beyer, Rolf Riehm, James Saunders, Elliott Sharp, Mika Vainio, Jennifer Walshe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Red Window Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47038449811696,"sku":"9783940064653","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783940064653_p0.jpg?v=1769833507","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783940064653","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
