Songs from the Deep (for chamber orchestra) Juhi Bansal

Songs from the Deep For chamber orchestra 2022

Full score

Juhi Bansal

Program note

Jaques Cousteau wrote of finding freedom below the ocean’s surface, and I would add that one might find inspiration there as well. Below the waves lies a world that is both surreal and familiar, a place of transcendent calm, of weightlessness, of motion and stasis juxtaposed. Sounds underwater become physical - vibrations felt as much as heard - and as in the lapping of waves, gentle chatter from reefs, and sounds of wildlife, the lines between movement, noise, sound and music start to blur. Inspired by an experience hearing humpback whale songs while diving, Songs from the Deep pays homage to an immersive soundscape of water, movement, current and flow; of changing colors and shifting light; of wild voices emerging out of chaos.

Commissioned by the Oregon Mozart Players for the 2022 Sound Investment Commission.

Duration – 12 minutes

Instrumentation

2 Flutes 2 Oboes 2 Clarinets in Bb 2 Bassoons

2 Horns in F 2 Trumpets in Bb

Timpani: • Four drums, required pitches: • An additional cymbal is to be placed on top of one of the timpani and bowed in the latter half of the piece Percussion (1 player): • Vibraphone (with very soft mallets and two bows) • Suspended cymbal (with soft mallets) • Tam-tam (with soft mallets and superball mallets)

Strings [at minimum 5.5.4.4.2 players] Two quartets are to be pulled from the tutti string section, these are indicated in the score as Quartet A and Quartet B. They should be seated either at the front of the stage (one at stage left and one at stage right) or on balconies/ out in the hall (again separated with Quartet A to one side and Quartet B to the other). They should be placed so they can comfortably see the conductor.

This score is transposed.

Notes to the conductor

• The spatial seating of Quartet A and B should produce an immersive, antiphonal effect for the audience. Make sure the sound of each quartet mirrors the other as closely as possible to create the effect of a single sound moving across space. • At three sections of the work (mm 75, 196, and 315) aleatory is used in a few strings (alongside similar colors in vibraphone) to create a shimmering veil through which the solo melodies will be heard. Control the density of sound in the string aleatory to make sure the solo lines are never covered.

Notation •

Dynamics are often different in different parts, even within the same family. Play the written dynamic, not the dynamic you hear in other voices (unless specifically indicated to match a certain instrument.)

•

All grace notes are before the beat.

•

All glissandi should start immediately at the beginning of the note value. change gradually from one way of playing to another (as marked) crescendo from niente diminuendo to niente

•

e.s.p. = extremely sul ponticello. This should be a very glassy, metallic effect, as different as possible from the timbre of the normal playing position in strings. Clarity of pitch under e.s.p. is unimportant.

Aleatoric figures in solid boxes are always out of sync with the meter and rest of the ensemble. Repeat the figure(s) in the box very freely, including rests for the duration indicated. Continue until the end of the arrow.

Aleatoric figures in dashed boxes indicate out of sync, extremely free and individual movement without a change in pitch. In the example on the left (from the violin section), the section as a whole will sustain the D, with each player individually moving from ord-non-tremolo to e.s.p.-tremolo and back freely.

When aleatoric figures are combined with dashed hairpins, continue the gesture indicated within the aleatoric box, while gradually changing the dynamic as indicated. For example, if an aleatoric box contains a crescendo to fortissimo, when a dashed diminuendo appears, gradually bring the dynamic down as a crescendo to forte, then crescendo to mezzo-forte, crescendo to piano, etc.
