A Library on Lightning for Bb Trumpet, Bassoon, and Double Bass

by Ashley Fure (2018)

Commissioned by the Wittener Tage für neue Kammermusik Premiered by Klangforum Wien on April 28th, 2018

Circa 14’ Score is in C; parts are tranposed.

Trumpet Performance Notes ø

µ n

Subtone split tones focus on increased spectral energy below the fingered pitch, adding an audible second spectrum a tritone below.

B µwO

÷.

÷ J

÷

Pressure multiphonics are produced with extreme air pressure barely allowed through the mouthpiece, creating a dense, wild screech.

‰ — J

f

¬

ƒ

Digital whites are produced with the crook removed, the mouthpiece removed, and the first valve unscrewed.

Rapidly press and release the valve and stop and release the back crook hole with the the thumb of the left hand while blowing forcefully through the instrument. This produces a binary, on-off shift of color in the white noise as it is rapidly redirected through different escape hatches in the deconstrted instrument.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ – J n P

> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ µw w f P

Spun valve air is produced by slowly spinning the first valve while blowing air softly through the instrument without the mouthpiece, creating soft white noise colored by undulating vowels.

metal plate buzz

Triangle noteheads indicate air sounds produced by blowing through the instrument without the mouthpiece.

P

n

–

High partial split tones focus on increased spectral energy above the fingered pitch.

Metal plate buzz is created by placing a thin-gauged metal sheet against the bell of the instrument (or against the mute in certain passages). The metal vibrates against the trumpet when blown, adding a snare like buzz to the tone.

Triangle noteheads indicate air sounds produced by blowing through the instrument without the reed. They are written on a two line staff showing “high” and “low” white noise, altered by variably fingering the first fifth of the range.

Square noteheads indicate slapping the tongue against the bocal, with the reed removed, producing a rapid, gunshot like ricochet.

Vocal beating is produced by bending microtonally with the voice around the fingered pitch to produce audible beating phenomena. The sung tone should always fade in and out of niente. This description pertains to bassoon as well as trumpet.

Double Bass Performance Notes

? µœ µœ Bœ i

This part is written for 5 string double bass with the following scordatura: It requires one auxilliary object: a stiff plastic credit card.

String Clef: indicates which of the five strings the bow is touching.

Square noteheads indicate a distorted sound of indefinite pitch, caused by movement of the card on the string being bowed.

Card clef: The single clef line represents the bridge. Thick lines indicate movement of the card up and down the strings, toward and away from the bridge. Diagonal lines show vertical movment across the specified duration; horizontal lines imply the card should be held still. Always use very light pressure: the goal is not to stop the string, as the finger would, but to complicate and destabilize its vibrational patterns.

Diamond noteheads indicate multiphonics. String and partial number are written above the string clef. The most prominent pitch in the cluster (corresponding to the harmonic at that node) is specified below. Bow position is never indicated for multiphonics; place the bow wherever it needs to be and use whatever pressure is necessary to make the multiphonic speak.

microtonal beating

˙ & B µ ˙ ..

n œœ ? =

Microtonal beating indicates a near unison double stop that produces audible beating phenomena. In these passages, upper staff pitches are transposed, indicating fingering positions that take into account both scordatura and octave transposition. Heard pitches are indicated below. Note that the high pitch should come from the lower string; in this case fingered C quarter sharp produces a B just below middle C on the third string. Retake bows freely to maximize beating phenomena at the indicated dynamic marking.

I would like the metallic snare to continue even at these quiet volumes. If the plate is having trouble vibrating at such a soft dynamic, try adding high partial split tones or soft bits of flutter to activate it. These should be stretched, fragile tones however, so value affect over buzz if need be.

Put down metal plate and slowly pull the harmon mute to half-out position. Look for the point at which the pitch breaks into a beating pattern and try to hold the mute there to maintain the beating.

Violent erratic card swipes up and down strings i and ii. Bow changes (in terms of direction and position) should happen in sync with the shifts in card pull direction. When the card pulls toward the bridge, the bow pulls away from the bridge to SP. When the card swipes away from the bridge, the bow pushes back towards MSP, as though there's an elastic band between the two hands drawing them back toward each other after they stretch away. This should produce a wild, electric guitar like distortion.
