Sheet Music: ScoreCardioMyopathy / Noemi Liba Friedman.by Noemi Liba Friedman (2019)

Product details
CardioMyopathy is a medical condition whereby the muscle fibres in the heart do not function properly causing weakness in the heart.
Yet it is often only when we experience disease and are thrust into the medical that we gain awareness of this incredible organ, one that announces life from deep within the womb and that finally pronounces our death.
This work was originally intended to explore the heart purely as an organic machine, pumping blood and oxygen. Yet, when I approached Vanessa Steinberg, a performance artist and a friend, to participate in this project as a model, having no awareness that she was experiencing myopathy and was on the waiting list for heart surgery, her unfolding story added a new layer of depth, significance and authenticity to this piece. She placed the ECG tags herself, having already undergone numerous ECGs, and tuned into her story, thoughts and experiences, as she posed for the visual and multimedia content of this score and work. Likewise, the libretto in the work are her words, taken from an interview given purposely for this work, in February 2019.
