Product Description
For voice and hands (optional percussion/instruments)
The performer speaks rhythmically and at the same time rubs together the
palms of their hands, or sandpaper blocks, with the same spoken rhythm and also
where marked in the text with dashes (- - - - -).
The bracketed direction (open hands) is not spoken, but is an indication
to the performer to open their hands wide as a dramatic gesture.
Examples of optional instruments - all playing a very quiet tremolo:
Three players on low drums with soft sticksAny three low notes on marimba or
vibraphoneThree groups of strings quite drumming fingers on the instrument
bodies.
The three players/groups enter as indicated in relation to the text -
[1], [2], [3] - and stop, fade, crescendo where indicated.
Programme note:
And She Flew was composed by Paul Burnell in 2006 and was first
performed by percussionist Chris Brannick. The piece can be performed as a solo
or together with accompanying instruments playing a quiet tremolo.
