Performance Notes
- All accidentals carry through the measure and apply only to the octave in which they appear.
- Glissandi lengths are indicated by note values. Slurs indicate that the arrival pitch should not be articulated; an absence of a slur indicates that the arrival pitch should be articulated.
- Depending on the percussion setup, percussionists should be able to share instruments—no doubles are required.
