PROGRAM NOTE: Missing Words VI (2020) is part of a larger series of works, Missing Words (I-VI), composed in homage to the newly-created German words presented in Ben Schott’s book, Schottenfreude: German Words for the Human Condition (Blue Rider Press/Penguin Group). These Seinfeld-ian words illuminate everyday experiences for which English has no synonyms. The words are therefore “missing” from English, and Schott has proposed German words we can adopt into English as we have adopted Doppelgänger, Schadenfreude and Wanderlust. I love the wit, humor, pathos and intimacy of these words, and use the situations they evoke as points of departure for the music. The series as a whole speaks to the complexity of life and human experience, and how all the little bits of the everyday “present” can help us find deeper meaning in our own.

Some thoughts on each movement below (Schott’s definitions in quotes): I., III., V. Witzbeharrsamkeit (Joke-Insistence) I-III: “Unashamedly repeating a bon mot until it is properly heard by everyone present.” The lively chatter of parties. The piccolo futilely proclaims something (they believe is) clever (about Beethoven, during his anniversary year).

The bass clarinet and violin try again later.

II. Betttrug (Bed-Deception): “The fleeting sense of disorientation on waking in a strange bed.”

Basking in the glorious first moments of waking in a new place. The first time since lockdown.

Light streams through the window. Wishing it would last forever.

IV. Dielennystagmus (Hallway-Nystagmus): “Repeatedly catching and avoiding people’s gazes when, say, approaching them down a long corridor.” A game – catching and averting. Life filled with only gazes.

VI. Erebusterror (Errebus-Terror): “Dread at the first indications of a fatal disease.” A thread of dignity amidst what’s looming.

VII. Rolleirückblende (Rollei-Flashback): “The flood of memory released when looking at old photos.” Thinking back – but remaining here.

IV. Dielennystagmus (Hallway-Nystagmus)

(Transposed Score)

Instructions

This movement is constructed as a musical and gesutral game for the ensemble. Please find below overall guidelines/instructions for how to perform the basic parameters of the "Main" sections of the piece (following Steps 1-3). The "Form" of the piece is listed on the following page, which includes Step 4.

Steps 1-3 are repeated continually by each performer individually (ad libitum) and without coordination with other players except for the the moments of eye contact (Step 3). Each player is given two staves: the top staff details the movement of the performer's own head/eyes, and the bottom staff is what is to be performed on the instrument.

In essence: each player performs long tones from a collection of pitches beginning with their head looking down (Step 1), gradually raising their head and finding the gaze of another performer (Step 2), and at the instant the two make eye contact (Step 3), the players should perform the gesture notated and then return to Step 1, repeating the entire sequence, until the Coda section (Step 4) is cued by the Flutist (at which point all players should proceed as is notated in the "Form"). (Players should be careful not to injure themselves by moving their necks too quickly with repetitive motion; the motion should always be comfortable; players may move their torso if that is helpful) The length given for each Step is approximate – the performer chooses the lengths (varying these each time) and should take into account the suggestions listed in the "Form" for the relative lengths of the steps for that point in time in the form. Players should maintain the same three steps while changing the pitches used in Step 1 as indicated on the Form diagram. It is helpful if performers can memorize Steps 1-4, the general form and harmonic shifts, and not look at the music while performing, and use a stopwatch to keep track of the larger form.
