Marc Chan’s My Wounded Head 3 is loosely based on the Passion Chorales from Bach’s St. Matthew’s Passion — a sequence of five chorales often collected under the title “O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden” (“O Sacred Head Now Wounded”). Every measure in My Wounded Head 3 is also repeated and the number of repetitions is left up to the performer. Pianist Rob Haskins says: “…the performer is invited to become a co-creator in many respects. … it’s the kind of piece that invites and rewards an intimate, ongoing relationship. I want to change and be changed by the music I play, and My Wounded Head 3 is one of a handful of pieces that I can say I would be willing to live with for the rest of my life.”
