G. Schirmer, Inc. New York, NY

Instrumentation Piccolo Flute Oboe 2 Clarinets in B= 2 Horns in F Piccolo Trumpet in B= Trumpet in C 2 Trombones Percussion (2 players) 1. Vibraphone (motor off, 2 bows needed), Xylophone, Tubular Chimes, 2 Bongos (hands or soft mallets only) 2. Crotales (2 bows needed), Small and Large Triangles, Large Bass Drum, 3 Low Tom-toms, 2 Low (resonant) W ood Blocks

2 Pianos (both with lids removed)

Harp Strings (1-1-1-1-0 or 6-5-4-3-0* players, if single strings are used, the dynamics in the rest of the orchestra will need to be adjusted accordingly, being lowered when necessary. If multiple strings are used, all players should play all the notes [i.e., there should be no divisi used by the string sections.) *[Optional Contrabass part included]

duration ca. 15 minutes

Transposed Score A piano reduction is available for study purposes.

Grace notes come before the beat.

All trills are even and normal except where marked as “uneven, sporadic, and frenetic.”

All double stops in the string parts should be played divisi.

When the piano parts are marked “pizz.”, the string should be plucked inside the piano; pluck only a single string (i.e., do not pluck all 3 strings) using the fleshy part of the finger. The use of a guitar pick is optional when plucking the louder notes. “Pizz.” is canceled by the indication “ord.”

This work was inspired by an E.E. Cummings poem, “stinging”. “stinging” from COMPLETE POEMS: 1904-1962, by E. E. Cummings, Edited by George J. Firmage, is used with the permission of Liveright Publishing Corporation.
