PERFORMANCE NOTES

Flute Cross-noteheads indicate keys to be depressed by right hand only, hereby bending the tone slightly.

Multiphonic requiring a relaxed jaw. Can be initiated by playing the Eb, relaxing the jaw, making a “glissando” to Bb, and finding a stable multiphonic. Will be flat in intonation.

Tongue ram – cover embouchure hole with lips, blocking airstream with tongue. Results in a major 7th below the fingered note.

Clarinet A soft multiphonic, in which both pitches should be heard balanced and controlled. See suggested fingering.

Depress the keys indicated by crossed noteheads, resulting in a semitone bend.

Percussion Snare Drum - Strike side of drum.

Snare Drum - Rim shot.

Viola No pitch. Mute string in a way that no pitch is heard, but rather an airy sound.

INSTRUMENTATION Flute Clarinet (in A/Bb) 2 Percussion: - Vibraslap, Claves, Campane, Tambourine.

- Snare Drum, Frustra (whip).
