I've been listening to the recording of "Lonely Child" on the 1984 Centrediscs LP every morning before work the last few days and thinking about how both of these pieces evoke loneliness by presenting a lyrical melody in a kind of isolation or starkness: in "Lonely Woman", the sax and trumpet are metrically disconnected from the rhythm section; in the Vivier, the orchestra is basically just supporting the singer in a dense but m/l homophonic texture. In a sense, though, it's the opposite idea, which is interesting. Both pieces also work with pitches outside equal temperament.
