Duration ca. 21’

About This work is both a reflection of the composer’s current compositional tendencies and aspirations as well as an exploration of the influences of the genres of blues, bluegrass, and rock music in various manners. The first movement is most reflective of Klock’s current stylistic choices. The second and third movements contain direct references to the genres mentioned above, including structural elements (e.g. call and response, 12-bar blues progression), articulations such as ‘bent’ notes on the guitar, an emphasis on the backbeat, and extended techniques, among others. The final movement utilizes techniques that Klock will be exploring further in the near future.

Performance Notes 1. Undefined pitches are notated with an “x” as the notehead. The pitch on the staff is an approximation of where the performer’s note should sound.

2. “X” in the guitar signals a muted pitch. This should be performed at pitch, but the mute technique is up to the performer.

3. Glissandi in the guitar are notated in three manners. The first, a straight line, is a standard gliss. using a finger on the left hand; the following note is plucked. The second uses a bottleneck, and the following note is plucked. The third, with both a straight line and a slur, uses a bottleneck and the following note is not plucked. In the case of glissandi with a chord, all pitches gliss. to the subsequent pitches (shown below).

4. In Movement 2, the guitarist should lightly rock the metal of a screwdriver across all six strings in order to produce the “sound bed.” This uses and upward and downward motion of the screwdriver.

5. In Movement 3, the cellist should use their thumb to knock the fingerboard of their instrument, resulting in an unpitched, percussive sound (shown below).

6. In Movement 4, all string instruments perform an oscillating pattern notated with the symbol below. In every instance, the violin and cello may change bow directions at will, and the guitar may pluck or strum pitches at will after sounding the initial pitch(es). However, each performer should only oscillate within the given range. For example, the blow excerpt may oscillate between A B and A µ
