PERFORMANCE INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL NOTES: • The piece is notated proportionally, though these proportions are not exact so as to allow for expressivity, within the confines of the timing. • All the multiphonics (with the exception of the one at 5’35”) were taken from Daniel Kientzy’s Les Sons Multiples aux Saxophones, with the corresponding catalogue number, fingering, and accidentals. Therefore, the accidentals are simply close approximations. If the multiphonics given cannot be produced, a multiphonic of comparable intensity (indicated by the dynamics) may be substituted. • The second markings provided start with a 3” delay at the beginning to allow the performer to prepare before the recording begins. • The graphic notation given for the fixed media is approximate and simply acts as a visual aid for the performer. NOTATION An empty notehead indicates air. A note in parenthesis indicates continuity, either by gradual transformation or sustain. An x-notehead refers to key clicks. An accent notehead refers to slap tongue. A dotted arrow indicates a gradual transformation from one state to another. A note with a sustain line ending with a grace note indicates the note should be held till the last possible moment.
A sustain of increasing density corresponds with the increasing density of the sound, which communicates dynamic information as well.
