Description
This piece was composed for Benjamin Coelho in 1999. It includes numerous extended techniques: tongue slaps, multiphonics, flutter-tonguing, timbral trills, pitch-bending, and glissandi, and spans the full range to E5. The music sounds atonal, with emphasis on small cells, but in reality the music does gravitate to certain central pitches. The music flows between angularity and linear lyricism, and is both challenging and engaging for both the performer and the listener. Performance instructions are provided, as are fingerings for the multiphonics.
