Product Description

Virus was composed during and about the 2020-2021 COVID epidemic. The main details of this piece are: 1. Each instrumentalist plays one and only one note throughout the entire piece. There are no expression markings only dynamics. There are no special techniques. Each performer is self-isolating. 2. 48 instrumentalists 24 violins, 10 violas, 8 cellos, 6 double basses. The entire ensemble covers four chromatic octaves. 3. Vibrato consistent across all instrumentalists. 4. No liberty with rhythm. Follow exactly as written. 5. This may be considered an etude a study of volume. All instrumentalists should be consistent in their interpretation of each dynamic. pppp should be extremely quiet but still audible. 6. The change in volume for crescendos and decrescendos should be gradual reaching end dynamic in a legato, smooth manner. 7. The visual of the dynamics in the full score often depicts the program like hieroglyphics. Or, in some cases, like the image of an organism viewed through a microscope. 8. Optional performers may wear masks during performance. And, if space permits, have 6 feet social distancing between performers.
