WIND  
for  one  ore  several  musicians  

 
 
 

 
 
 
 

 
 
 

 
 
 
Wind   is   a   piece   for   any   instrument   (preferably   woodwinds)   or   for   a   small  
ensemble  of  any  instruments  (preferably  woodwinds).    
Two   pages.   Page   one   containing   a   Melody   and   page   two   containing   melodic  
Fragments  to  be  inserted  at  specific  places  of  the  Melody.  
The  rests  on  page  one  can  work  in  two  ways:  

a) As  articulation  points  (they  can  be  longer  than  what  the  notation  suggests).  
b) As  insertion  places  for  the  Fragments  on  page  two.  
Play   the   Melody   as   written   (rests   as   silences   included)   at   least   once   before  
inserting  Fragments  to  it.    
The  repeat  signs  mean:  repeat  many  times.  

Fragments  can  be  used  alone  or  in  combination.  They  also  may  be  used  more  than  
once.  

It  is  not  required  to  have  used  all  available  Fragments  by  the  end  of  the  piece.  

Some   sort   of   gradation   between   short,   long,   and   very   long   durations   must   be  
always   at   play,   but   it   is   not   necessary   to   follow   strictly   what   is   written.   What   is  
actually   notated   in   the   score   is   a   particular   combination   of   durations,   but   the  
one(s)  playing  must  keep  in  mind  that  there  are  other  possibilities.  
The  overall  tempo  of  the  piece  should  be  slow  and  relaxed.  All  the  sounds  are  soft  
and  with  a  minimum  of  attack.  
If  performed  as  an  ensemble  piece,  performers  should  decide  individually  how  to  
proceed   through   the   material   provided.   No   unified   tempo   must   be   imposed,   and  
entering  and  leaving  the  piece  should  not  be  coordinated.  
Stop  playing  whenever.  It  is  not  necessary  to  complete  an  iteration  of  the  Melody  to  
bring  the  piece  to  an  end.  
Lastly,  the  music  is  notated  in  concert  pitch.  

 
Wind   is   dedicated   to   Evan   Ziporyn   and   Jürg   Frey,   both   clarinet   players   and  
composers  with  whom  I  have  engaged  in  beautiful  and  stimulating  conversations.
