PERFORMANCE NOTES
Flute Cross-noteheads indicate keys to be depressed by right hand only, hereby bending the tone slightly. Multiphonic requiring a relaxed jaw. Can be initiated by playing the Eb, relaxing the jaw, making a “glissando” to Bb, and finding a stable multiphonic. Will be flat in intonation. Tongue ram – cover embouchure hole with lips, blocking airstream with tongue. Results in a major 7th below the fingered note. Clarinet A soft multiphonic, in which both pitches should be heard balanced and controlled. See suggested fingering. Depress the keys indicated by crossed noteheads, resulting in a semitone bend.
Percussion Snare Drum - Strike side of drum. Snare Drum - Rim shot.
Viola No pitch. Mute string in a way that no pitch is heard, but rather an airy sound.
