(This can be variety of ethnic overtone flutes and/or PVC plastic tubes) **Bass drum, 2x Bongos, 2x Tom tom, Tam tam, Gong (C), 4x Small gongs (laid flat),Thundersheet, Piatti, Cymbal, Small Cymbal, 2x Almglocken, 2x Log drums, Lion´s Roar, Spring Drum, Waldteufel, Guiro, Sand paper block, Triangle, Wine glass, 4+2 Tubulum (big PVC plastic pipes), 4x Harmonic Tubes (PVC corrugated flexible plastic hose/tube), Marimba bar (or lowest note on marimba), Timpani. Duration ca. 12 min. Score in C. Commissioned by Ilan Volkov and the Iceland Symphony Orchestra. Premiered at the Kennedy Center, 4. march 2013. The work is dedicated to Ilan Volkov. Performance notes Woodwinds Multiphonics: pick any, but use the same one within each section (usually 4 or 8 bars). When mouthpiece or reed is removed, play the instrument (not mouthpiece/reed). Harmonic gliss., is playing the harmonic series (from given fundamental, legato). Brass Harmonic gliss: play the harmonic series (from given fundamental, legato). (natural harmonics, not adjusted to equal temperament). Trumpets and trombones, mutes: straight, harmon with stem, plunger and practice mute (trumpet 1). Percussion Tubulum: Big PVC plastic pipes. Random notes. Flat (“pingpong”) mallets. Harmonic Tube: PVC corrugated flexible plastic hose/tube. Random length. Material and sound is similar to whirly tube, but the tube has smaller diameter. Blow into instrument not swing in a circle (like with whirly tubes). The end of the harmonic tube needs to be put into mouth for playing. Flute or trumpet blowing techniques do not work. Outcome should be harmonic. When dynamic is p the harmonic should be static and in lower register. Piano Notes CC, C, G, c, g: Prepared with rubber (pencil eraser f.ex.). Bell-like sound, not distinctive note. Bowed string: try to bow strings in measures 2-48. Can be done using f.ex. nylon sring (with a lot of rosin) or make string/bow from violin/cello bowhairs (w. rosin). Sustain pedal down. Sound should be very soft and sustained. No attack. Harp Try to sustain notes in measures 13-59, with f.ex ebow. Sound should be soft and sustained. No attack. Also needed for harp part: drumstick and guitar pick. Strings “Bow on bridge”: white noise type of sound, no pitch/tone. "Vertical" bowing (bow in same direction as string). Unpitched: The bow is held normally but starts close to bridge and moves down fingerboard (and then back). Put some pressure on strings, not “windy” sound. Final chord, measures 235-242: possible to fine-tune the chord by listening to harmonics 7, 11 and 13 from double bass (C string). ! 1 = 84 C bd Flute I-III ² ; 4 ¼ # 4 a a a a Oboe I-III ¼ 4 ¼ # 4 a a a a Clarinet I-II ¼ 4 ¼ # 4 a a a a Bass Clarinet ¼ $ 4 ¼ 4 a a a a Bassoon I-II ¼ ¼ $ 4 a a a a Double Bassoon¼ ˆ 4 d d d ¼< 4 a c b c b c b tI tI tI Horn I-IV 'Ç Ç Ç ; 4 ¼<# 4 a a a a Trumpet I-III ; 4 ¼ # 4 a a a a Trombone I-II ¼ $ 4 ¼ 4 a a a a Bass Trombone ¼ $ 4 ¼ 4 a a a a Tuba ¼ $ 4 a a a a ¼< 4 Bass Drum Percussion 1 ; 4 a A A A ¼ ' (continue trill) Percussion 2 ¼ ¡ääääääääääääääääääääääääääääääTam Tam ¼ 4 a A A A Percussion 3 ¼ ‘ ¼ 4 a a a a Percussion 4 ¼ 4 ¼< 4 a Bow string with nylona string. a a Piano $ 4 a Ð A A A Harp ´ $ 4 a a a a Violin I ; 4 ¼ # 4 a a a a Violin II ¼ 4 ¼ # 4 a Bow on bridge. a a a Viola ¼ 4 ¼ ‚ 4 a Bow} on tail piece. } } Cello ¼ ¼ $ 4 a } } } ¼ ´ 11h, sul C.
