FOR TRUMPET AND ELECTRONICS



!"#$"%&' )"* +",- .'/&*



S C O R E I N C

Instrumentation:

Trumpet in C (harmon mute required)

Electronics*

* CD stereo playback

Performance Note:

Trumpet: ! Trumpeter should play into a microphone that is sent through a reverb patch with a

reverberation time of at least three seconds. Microphone levels may be turned down when the harmon mute is removed. The reverb may be added through the mixing board,or any reverb generator on an amplifier.

! The 2nd valve slide should be removed from the trumpet for the first portion of the

piece. When the 2nd valve slide is removed, many of the fingerings in this movement will result in microtones. For each microtone, the closest sounding tempered pitch isnotated (diamond-shaped note-head)

! All glissandi in the movement are achieved by extending the 3rd valve slide (unlessotherwise noted)

Electronics:Setup requirements:

1 Microphone routed to a reverb controller (reverb may be added from the mixing board)

1 pair of stereo speakersCD Playback device

Note: The electronic CD part does not contain cues – when the CD is started, it willcontinue until the end of the piece.

Total Duration: 7 minutes

(Note: In performance, it is sometimes hard to hear the trill entrance. However, after a few practice repetitions, the performer will get a feel for how to pace these final phrases.

There is no discernible pulse in the electronic part in this coda section, and so the performer can play freely as long as the final note cuts off before, or immediately after, the "low rumbling sounds" enter. It is acceptable to have a slight pause between the final trumpet note and final electronic gesture)
