performing score

eiszeiten

(2012-14) for horn, trombone, tuba and electronic sounds

commissioned by Zinc & Copper Works

in memory of Konrad Boehmer

duration: approximately 10 minutes

All instruments are to be amplified. The horn is a double horn in Bb and F, the trombone is a tenor-bass instrument with F attachment and the tuba a bass tuba in Bb.

intonation Eiszeiten is based on the inconsistencies between, on one hand, the (almost) justly-intoned harmonic series of partials produced by the embouchure of brass instruments, and, on the other, the equal chromatic temperament prodiced by the valve system. Therefore all fingerings and slide-F attachment positions should be tuned to the notated equal-tempered frequencies, and the harmonics on the given fundamentals should be as close as possible to just intonation. The numbers above the main stave indicate the partial to be used (1=fundamental/pedal-tone). Arrows above or below the accidentals are used for pitches which vary most strongly from equal temperament, although very often two instances of the “same” pitch will vary microtonally from one another because of being produced as different partials of different fundamentals, even when their accidental is the same. The lower stave contains the fingering or slide/F-attachment position, the frequency of the fundamental in Hertz (based on equal temperament at a’=440Hz) and the pitch of the fundamental. It is assumed that any necessary adjustments will be made to ensure these fundamentals have the notated frequency values. other notations

à = exhaled, ß = inhaled sounds; = unpitched air-sounds, = tongue-ram The horn is notated a perfect fifth higher than it sounds although its fundamentals on the lower stave (see above) are notated at sounding pitch electronics The electronic part consists of a stereo soundfile in four sections which are triggered and stopped at the indicated points in the score, using a Max patch supplied with the soundfile. Each section of the soundfile is at a constant (maximum) volume level – the notated dynamics in the electronic part are intended to be realised at the mixer, to take account of the performing situation and the instrumental dynamics with which they usually crossfade. Each section begins with a fade from silence except cue 4, and each ends with a fade to silence except cue 1. Cue 1 has accordingly been made slightly longer than the 75” given in the score, so that at precisely 75” (according to the timer in the Max patch) the performer of the electronic part cues the instrumentalists and simultaneously stops playback.

The fundamental frequencies given on the lower stave for each instrument correspond to equal-tempered pitches based on A=440Hz. The sounding pitches on the upper stave are intended to be unaltered natural partials of these fundamentals (the partial numbers are also given), and will thus vary in frequency to a greater or lesser extent even when notated as the same pitch.
