Performance Notes
The first two thirds of the piece are aleatoric.
The pianist sets the pulse for the piece from their entrance at 0:40.
Players play the sections in boxes until cued by the pre-recorded track. Be sure you are certain of the pianist's pulse before moving on to the next section. Players should also complete the previous section before moving on.
At about 6:00, the aleatoric section ends.
The final section of humming should be in unison.
