- AVALERION Program Note Little is known about the mythology of the avalerion, a mythological bird very much akin to the Firebird of countless traditions. Some of the earliest writing about the avalerion exists in Guillaume de Machaut's poetic work The Tale of the Alerion, and medieval scholars placed its geographic origin between the Hydaspes and Indus rivers in modern-day India and Pakistan. It was said that only two such birds existed at any given time.

Avalerion loosely follows the traditional firebird narrative of death and rebirth: The opening evocation of Avalerion is put into motion through bold, chiming chords, a mysterious melody presented by the strings, and an ethereal resonance created by seven Tibetan singing bowls. The evocation gives way to flight, as pulsating swells come and recede like an ominous wind as a growing turbulence emerges. Suddenly the turbulence becomes all-encompassing as a darkness moves to the fore; the strings erupt in a flurry of activity as the winds wail passionate cries and the percussion stirs thunder and turmoil. When the darkness recedes, a barren, lifeless void remains; the flute and clarinet sing slow melodies of desolation and longing. Then, from the stillness, the cycle of rebirth begins, reaching completion as opening evocation returns triumphantly. Born anew, the avalerion flies into the distance‌

Avalerion is scored for flute, clarinet, two percussion, piano, violin, viola, and cello and was commissioned by the Firebird Ensemble.

- AVALERION Performance Notes •

Both percussionists play bowed singing bowls resting on one timpani that serves as a fluctuating resonance chamber. To execute this technique effectively and consistently, the performers should use a spare soft mallet to firmly press the bottom of the singing bowl against the head of the timpani as the bowl is bowed along the rim, preventing it from tilting or moving without dampening its resonance. The timpani pedal is then moved the full range of the instrument in the indicated rhythm after the note has reached its maxim volume, altering the frequency of the overtones of the bowls as the sound decays. Performers should strive to activate the fundamental tone of the bowl, but upper harmonic partials will occur frequently and are also acceptable. Any size timpani is acceptable for this effect. Of utmost importance is that the pedal mechanisms are as close to silent as possible.

•

Both percussionists' singing bowls and timpani should, if possible, be placed on opposite sides of the audience in the performance hall. Ample time is provided to move from the timpani to the main station of instruments on stage. If the hall cannot accommodate the timpani being placed on the sides of the audience, both timpani should be placed on the edge of stage as far apart as possible to retain the stereo effect.

•

The + indication in the percussion 1 part indicates to play the log drum in its "dead zone" towards the center of the outside of the top of the drum and opposite the normal playing position on the tongue, creating a woodblock-like tone without the fundamental of the log drum.

•

Both primary percussion stations on stage must be set up to allow for very rapid switches between the unpitched percussion and the marimba or vibraphone. The marimba in the percussion 1 part should ideally be placed immediately adjacent to the percussion set up so that both are playable from approximately the same position. The lowest octave of the marimba range is not used, and may be placed out of reach to allow easier access to the rest of the instrument. The toms and bongos in the percussion 2 part can be placed behind the instrument so as to be playable from the normal vibraphone playing position.

•

Before the start of the piece, the pianist should use small bits of Blu-Tack adhesive putty to mute the individual notes F1, G1, Bb1, and C2. These mutes are removed during the extended rest that begins in measure 41.

•

The pianist uses three "soft mutes" that can be made by filling a children's sock with BBs and sewing the sock shut. These mutes are then placed along the strings to cover the range C4 to approximately Eb6; it is acceptable if the top end of the muting range is not precise. These mutes are very quickly removed at measure 88.

•

At the beginning and end of the piece the mallet tremolo in the piano part is executed by repeatedly striking the indicated string in fairly quick, regular rhythm with a soft yarn mallet with the pedal depressed. The resultant sound should be that of an even, arrhythmic drone; avoid rhythmic pulsation.

•

The "harp pizz" piano technique is executed by plucking the indicated string inside the piano at the octave harmonic node (at the exact center of the vibrating string), producing a warm and resonant tone quality much like that of a harp harmonic. The nodes can be marked lightly with chalk prior to the performance to make them easier to locate in performance.

•

During the rest at measure 360, the pianist should place one of the soft mutes vertically on the C4 string, giving it a slightly increased muted tone. This mute is removed in measure 370.

•

In all string parts, all natural harmonics are accompanied by a string indication (I for the highest string, IV for the lowest). Natural harmonics whose sounding pitch is different from the touch point are notated with a diamond notehead, while natural harmonics that sound at the touch point are notated with the traditional o over the note.

•

The slashed notehead in all string parts indicates to stop the sound on the indicated beat by pressing down with a heavy bow pressure, very abruptly cutting off the sound.
