Description
This piece was composed in 1974 and dedicated to Harvey Saltzman. The music is pitch-centric, based on a pentatonic scale, and covers the full range up to Eb5. A low G1 is optional. Pitch-bending, glissandi, tongue-slaps, harmonics, flutter-tonguing, and sonic distortion are all found in this piece. The music very contemplative in nature, and is challenging due to the extended techniques.
