But I Still Believe

dedicated to Hillary Clinton

ZACHARY GREEN

But I Still Believe for clarinet, piano, and live electronics (2017)

Required Materials for live performance (not including instruments): -Laptop equipped with Max 7 -Max 7 patch (furnished by composer) -Microphone for clarinet (preferably with as little bleed as possible), and any materials necessary to connect microphone to laptop.

-Stereo speaker or PA system, and any materials necessary to connect system to laptop.

-Foot-operated triggering device, connected to laptop (recommended: delay pedal or MIDI foot pedal routed through USB keyboard)

Performance notes: Boxed numbers indicate that the clarinet player should tap his/her foot on the pedal, triggering the next electronic event. The number inside the box identifies which event is meant to triggered, and should correspond with the number that appears on the laptop screen when the pedal is tapped.

"Enter at will" indicates that the player should utilize his/her own discretion on when to begin the next section.

For the convenience of the players, "Max 1" and "Max 2" are provided to reflect the audio that will be coming out of the speakers. "Max 1" primarily deals with live-processed clarinet sounds, while "Max 2" primarily denotes audio clips. Boxed text in the "Max 2" staff indicates the words Hillary Clinton speaks.

Boxed musical figurations followed by a single thick line above the staff indicate repeated musical material for the duration of the line.
