Instrumental Duet - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1392905 Composed by Jordan Morrison. 21st Century,Chamber,Contemporary,Instructional,Multicultural,World. 4 pages. Jordan Morrison Music #976431. Published by Jordan Morrison Music (A0.1392905). These two alternative notation duets are geared towards making a duo communicate, listen, flex their creativity, focus on sounds, and make artistic choices. You can read more below from the performance notes for the series but the highlights include: Choice of open instrumentation, choice of paper orientation, choice of rotation (clockwise or counter-clockwise), and choice of speed. More info below!The outside of the wheel connects to the events which are to be played upon an instrument capable of producing the written chords, while the inside wheel connects to the events which are to be played upon an instrument capable of the range and 3 timbres (open, muted, and either a harmonic of a multiphonic)***. This piece is meant to begin at whichever musical event the performers agree upon and rotate in a clockwise or counter-clockwise motion which is also determined and agreed upon by the performers. The orientation of the page is also left to the players discretion but must be agreed upon. When the lines connecting the musical events to the wheel are staggered around the wheel then each musical event must be played in full before the other performer starts his or her next event. When the lines are directly across from one and other the events are to be played simultaneously. The musical events must stay in the order in which they occur around the wheel. When two lines connect a single musical event to the wheel, that event is to be vamped(repeated) until the completion of the other player's event which occurs within that time. The moments of locking in time(both performers playing the selected notes in time with one another) are indicated by parentheses around one or more notes in two simultaneous events***. Accidentals only apply to the note indicated and do not carry through the event. Feel free to connect with me on Instagram @jordan.morrison.music.
