Ferneyhough StelĂŚ for Failed Time 12 Solo Voices and Electronics Full Score
No. 7611
This score is divided and paginated into five sections as was convenient for rehearsals for the first performance of the work. However, the piece is to be performed as a single, uninterrupted span, and the score should flow from section to section accordingly; the double bars found within the score are therefore obsolete.
Commissioned by Franรงoise and Jean-Philippe Billerant for IRCAM
