Frederic Rzewski
Title:
Les Moutons de Panurge
Instrumentation:
Flexible - no restrictions
Duration:
Variable
Difficulty:
Moderate to harder
Technical Issues:
The musicians are given an extended melody. with the instruction to play it repeatedly, loudly , and without stopping or faltering, subtracting notes from the start with each repeat. They will all become lost. Non musicians are invited to make any sound in a specified rhythm, they may follow their leader, or not.
Programme note:
The piece consists of a melody for instrumentalists, and a rhythm for 'non musicians'. The intention is that both groups become inextricably lost, or 'leave home', depending on how you look at it.
