SCORE

Wriggled Squiggle

For Trombone, Percussion (Vibraphone, Glockenspiel & Gongs) and CD Trombone: The score is written for tenor-bass trombone.

The mute referred to in the score is a rubber plunger.

Sprechgespiel is a parallel to Sprechgesang.

Whenever Sprechgespiel is indicated in the score glide up and down after the selected tones have been set in motion.

The rubber plunger is opened and closed in order to make the tones chatter in an even more speech-like manner. The result should sound like a singing, questioning sigh.

The following is an example on how the pieces opening bars can be interpreted.

(Closed mute is marked with + and open with o):

Percussion: The glockenspiel sounds an octave higher than written and should have a range from c’ to f’’’ The vibraphone sounds as notated and should have a range from f to f’’’ There are 6 gongs:

CD: Vibraphones are doubled throughout the piece by prerecorded sine-tones.

The accompanying CD has two tracks. The first track doubles the vibraphone from measure 1 to measure 42.

Prepare the CD-player and set it to pause before the first track.

The vibraphonist activates ‘play’ on the first beat of the first measure.

When the last tone of the first track has finished sounding (in measure 42) ‘pause’ is once again activated and “next track” selected.

The second track is now ready to be played.

The vibraphonist activates ‘play’ for the second track as a kind of upbeat to measure 86.

From this point onwards one plays in sync with the CD up to and incuding measure 130.

The CD is a stereo recording (one loudspeaker placed on each side of the stage).

The vibraphone melody is followed throughout with the exception of measures 98-105 and 119-130 in which the CD plays glissando chords (one attack per measure) instead of the vibraphone melody.
