Notes • X-shaped noteheads in the flute part indicate a "chiff" sound made by forcefully blowing over the mouthpiece.

• The duration of each feathered-beam accelerando is indicated by a bracketed note above or below the beams.

• The accidentals and indicate quarter flat and quarter sharp, respectively, in the context of flute pitch bends.

• Flute trills should be executed alternation between alternate fingerings for the given note.

• X-shaped noteheads in the percussion part indicate the dampening of a singing bowl on the beat where written.

Mallets Required: One singing bowl mallet, one soft yarn mallet, and two hard yarn mallets

• The stem indication indicates rubbing the singing bowl to produce the note, while all other notes are struck.
