Legend
TUBA – There are two big parts in this piece, each with a very different character. The
first one until bar 70 is supposed to be played very expressive and brassy (cuivré), where
as the triads in the second part are to be played very cantabile with long phrasing. Solo is
in a quite high register, so the player should reserve some strength for the end. Precise
tempi are facilitated by the E-score which is serving as a metronome.
- Note heads (besides ordinary there are following):
- enter the note with a brassy sound
- exit the note with a brassy sound
- breathy sound
- sing a given pitch into tuba
- Curves:
- tenuto extension line
- rafale extension line
- undulato extension line
- vibrato extension line
- triller extension line
- bisbigliando extension line
- flatterzunge extension line
- growl extension line
- Arrows:
- gradual transition from one state into the other
–
electronics are being triggered by the pedal. In order to better see the
triggering there is a vertical arrow pointing from the event in the score to
the corresponding number. Triggering numbers are always enclosed in
rectangular brackets.
- Speed of curves:
- proportional, every repetition is the same (used for rafale/blast)
- sudden accelerando
- sudden ritardando
-short accelerando and ritardando
ELECTRONICS - The input is recorded by a miniature microphone that can be
attached to the outer bell of tuba (e.g. DPA 4099). The output is sent to eight
loudspeakers evenly distributed in the room as well as to additional two loudspeakers set
on the stage behind the player (see picture.1). The use of subwoofers is recomended but
not mandatory.
The concet patch is made in application MaxMsp (Version 6.0.4). All of the necessary files
are contained in the folder Betes_de_sexe. After opening the patch it is sufficient to press
"init" and to follow the exact pedaling. An external object called "munger~" is required
for one of the effects. This object can be easily downloaded from:
http://www.maxobjects.com/?v=objects&id_objet=3972
- First part:
- soundfiles made of samplers with different animal sounds
- kazoo sound (volume depends on current tuba level)
- Second part:
- granulated animal sounds (mixed grains of different sizes)
MUNGER~ - the grain rate and the scale is written in the score (for more details, look at
the concert_patch)
REVERB~
- the general decay rate is written in the score (for more details, look at
the concert_patch)
- Epilogue:
- short bridge made by overlaping multiple layers of the filtered and delayed
sound of the last bar of tuba solo.
- is a stereo soundfile that is triggered by the last pedal and lasts for 35".
That is why it is simply denoted by a thick line from the begining to the end.
