SCORE

© 2007 Raven Music


TOTAL DURATION: Ca. 24 minutes

INSTRUMENTATION

Minimum* 12 (opt. 13) players *(See Performance Note on doubling)


9 of these players alternating on:
Piccolos (need 4 instruments)
Flutes
Alto Flutes (in G) (need 4 instruments)
plus
Bass Flute (in C)
Bass Flute in F (optional)
Contrabass Flute in C (or Bass Clarinet)
Sub-Contrabass Flute in C (or string Bass)
2 Percussion (3rd player for some optional parts)
Huge Rain Stick (or two) (may substitute cluster of 3-4 swirled maracas)
Bull Roarer (aboriginal or Miwok)
Large Sheet of Aluminum Foil (minimum 12” square), suspended by hand and
tapped with bamboo skewers; also shaken/rattled.

Tambourine
Snare Drum (thin/bright if possible) [sticks/brushes]
Large Floor Tom

Large Tam Tam (flat, no nipple), with large soft mallet


3 Chinese Bowl Gongs, set on felt or cloth pads
(May substitute medium, large, and very large common stainless steel
mixing bowls. Use soft rubber marimba mallet, or hard cord vibe mallet)
High Suspended Cymbal (splash)
Ride Cymbal

Ratchet (fixed to table)


Small Plastic “Egg” Shaker
Maracas
Guiro (Reco-reco) with scraper
Glass or metal Tube Wind Chime (high, tinkly) (suspended)
Triangle
Ankle Jingles (optional—in Rain Dance, for stomped rhythms)
PERFORMANCE NOTES
BOTTOM PARTS:
• This piece needs a strong bottom end.
• If you wish to preserve an all-flute choir timbre, the composer recommends using custom
elliptical-bore PVC low flutes (Subcontra, Contra, and even Bass) such as those produced
by Mr. Jelle Hogenhuis in Holland.
Website: http://home.hetnet.nl/%7Ejelinbama email: [email protected]
• String Bass is more effective in this ensemble than current metal Subcontrabass Flutes. A
String Bass version of Part 12 is available, with adjusted dynamics and articulations. Also
a Bass Clarinet version of Part 11 (for Contrabass Flute). Both still allow for solos to be
played on the corresponding low flute if that is also present.

DOUBLING:
• For large ensembles, if you want to add players, you may double the top parts only if you
reinforce the bass.
• For pure all-flute ensembles, never double trebles more than basses.
• When you double any Flute or Alto Flute parts, double all of them. Balance the voices.
• Never double solos in any part.

For larger groups, these numbers should maintain proper top/bottom balance:
(A) String Bass (with or without Subcontrabass Flute), Bass Clarinet (with or without Contrabass
Flute), 2 Bass Flutes in C, 2 on each part for Altos and Flutes, 1 on each Piccolo part.

(B) String Bass (with or without Subcontrabass Flute), Bass Clarinet (with or without Contrabass
Flute), 3 Bass Flutes in C, 3 on each part for Altos and Flutes, 2 on each Piccolo part.

(C) 2 string basses and 2 bass Clarinets (with or without the lowest flutes), 4 or more on each part
for Bass Flutes, Altos, and Flutes, 2-3 on each Piccolo part.

TRADING PARTS – Players may with to trade numbered parts between movements (at the
conductor’s discretion). If so, the group should print up placards with single large numbers on
them (1 through 12 or 13) and hang them over the backs of their music stands. They should
exchange cards between movements to show which part they are playing in each movement. This
is so that in each movement the conductor knows whom to cue for part 5, part 9, etc., since for
parts 1-9 the player could be playing Piccolo, Flute, or Alto.

RAIN DANCE

whoosh = finger lowest note, cover mouthpiece, blow air only.

STOMPING: In measures 57-74, parts 4-13 (and percussion) may stomp their foot lightly,
alternating feet, on the accented beats of the bass group/drum pattern (marked with downward
arrows). Note that the rhythmic pattern doubles up at 69 (last 2 bars of the previous 4-bar
pattern).
Parts 4-13 may wear ankle jingles to enhance this group dance rhythm. Put the jingles on quietly
onstage (do not walk onstage jingling please), take them off quietly after the movement ends. To
do the steps, raise the foot slowly, and stomp down quickly on the beat. Ladies will want to wear
flats, not heels for this. If you are on a hollow wood stage, take it easy; don’t cover the bass
instruments in this passage.

RAIN STICK CUE: In the absence of the Rain Stick, the group may do the vocal-noise cue for it.
FOG SONG
Solo Flute should stand front and center.
Cluster Group:
At the start all cluster flutes turn and play towards the solo flute (from all sides).
Gradually turn back to normal position around m. 25
Imperceptible swell to barely audible in m. 3
Catch a breath when you need to, staggered, not at pitch shifts. No gasping.
You may wish to pick spots to breathe where cue says "surf shh", as that sound will mask you.
Glissandi, all move together on the last eighth note of the bar, through m. 29 (also after m. 87).
If doubling all parts, additional players may play a quarter-tone above each cluster note until m. 20.
Then as written.
Accidentals hold through the bar in the same octave until/unless canceled, and across ties.
Part 13 (Bass in F) can cover or double the "shh" surf noises in measures 1-26 and 94-110
as well as play bowl gongs and large gong. These are in the Percussion part.

For bars 63-end, players will benefit by playing around in advance with transpositions of the
"diminished" scale (examples above). It is an 8-note scale: rising half step/whole step/half step/whole step, OR
whole-step/half step etc. (There are really only two scales, as the pattern repeats every minor third.
The "key" simply depends on what note you start/cadence on.)


SAND BANSHEE
Flageolet arpeggios: Finger any note that works best. (The printed note is a placeholder.) Slowly arpeggiate up
and down the high flageolet partials, like a tiny wind through a door crack. Move in synch.
At U, harmonic arpeggios, finger lowest pitch. Rhythms are approximate; try to reach top and bottom notes on the beat.

No crescendo during long note bends up/down after letter E.

All trills are half-steps in this movement.

PROGRAM NOTE FROM THE COMPOSER

This work was written at the request of the Los Angeles Flute Orchestra, Jonna Newcomb-Carter, leader,
and premiered by them in 2007 with the composer conducting. Its three movements evoke wind-related
aspects of the natural world. These include drought, ground breezes, and gentle rain; dense, wispy, and
billowing fog, surf; and all the stages of a wild sandstorm. As the central thread, the melodies express the
anguish and yearning of a lost soul. The theme is humans seeking to regain connection with the powers of
Nature.

Despite long experience with 20th Century trends, I remain devoted to the vitality of past Western musical
traditions, and I draw my musical strength from old roots as I seek to make something new. So I am not
an “experimental” composer. But in this work I have selectively explored modern extended techniques
and effects available on the various flutes (including the huge low ones) and then tried to make real
music with them. I have also introduced some modest stage business. The percussion parts provide
necessary sound elements and atmosphere, handling a menagerie of gongs and cymbals, drums, shakers,
and rattles, and some exotics like the Miwok Bull-Roarer and rattled Tinfoil Sheet.

This was my first work written in partial collaboration with an ensemble—and they have my gratitude,
particularly my friend Ellen Burr, who connected me with the group and encouraged and schooled me. I
got to test various passages and effects with individual players first, and then to work with the group to
achieve the color effects I intended, with writing that remains technically idiomatic. My intention was to
add a serious piece to the thin repertoire for this unique ensemble, and to help raise awareness of its
potential.

1. Rain Dance: It is dry. No rain. Crops will wither. The people gather: dancers, chanters, drummers.
They beat the air. The big flute moans for a breeze, the others answer with wet drop noises. Nothing.
They sigh. They call the breeze up to pull rain down, again and again. No rain. They make a falling-drops
tune in harmonized groups. No rain. They build up an intense slow dance rhythm, drumming, stamping,
and the tiny flutes scream for the rain, then all join in. Stop. Wait. Now the rain comes, gently; it falls and
rolls in rivulets and soaks into the parched Earth. The sky wipes clear and all thank the breeze, the big
flute last.

2. Fog Song: A lost soul stands on the beach, engulfed in dark dense cold salty sea fog. Nothing moves.
Surf slides in. Foghorns moan. The soul sings a lonely slow tune; the fog wavers and shifts as though in
sympathy. The tune shifts to a blues feel; the fog feels the groove and joins in the Foggy Blues, city style.
This fades, and a higher, more diffuse fog arises. A lower voice sings another lost tune, with buoy bells
bonging offshore; many separate wisps of fog echo it, twisting together, then, pushed by a little wind, join
and billow up in a full new mournful chorus that roars over the surf. At the climax the choir writhes
down, slows, and spreads to a wide, thin fog. The low lonely tune returns trailing shadows, and then soul,
fog, surf, and foghorns join in a dark farewell chord, and a seagull wheels overhead.

3. Sand Banshee: Standing on a warm sand dune in the sun, the soul senses a tiny, thready breeze that
keens high and grows in widening swoops, then drops and focuses in a steady pulsing center. Flecks of
sand flick by, the pulsing builds, and we are piping a fun little Latin Sand Dance. The breeze swoops up
to a high keening wiggling wind, pungent but not yet scary. It drops to a murmur under a sweet reassuring
melody. The Sand Dance resumes and pushes up to a higher shrieking wavering wind with spattering
sand. Now the massed low instruments shout the power of the Banshee wind, punctuated by drum tattoos
and gong and cymbal strokes, while the shrieking continues in long rising waves, ever louder and scarier,
as though it will never stop. Finally it peaks, drops, relaxes to sweet melody and harmony again, under a
clearing sky and warm sun, and settles to calm motionless unison. Is the Banshee gone?
(NOTE: The Banshee is a female spirit in Irish mythology, usually seen as an omen of death and a
messenger from the Otherworld. In Irish legend, a banshee wails around a house if someone there is about
to die. This movement evokes the wailing and shrieking of a storm that could well mean death.)
