1 Ghst Mde Fr Bass Flute, Vln, and Spran Chace Wall

2 2 Perfrmance Ntes Ths pece has been cnstructed wth textural balance prmarly n mnd, s extra care shuld be taken t ensure that the dynamc and tmbral shape f the verall sund reman well-balanced t preserve the cntructed texture. In passages where ndvdual nstruments brefly leap ut f the establshed texture, the ther perfrmers shuld subtly censate fr the drp n the verall dynamc level f the backgrund snrty. It s essental t the success f the pece that the sung ptches ndcated fr the vlnst be perfrmed at the wrtten ptch level. If ths s nt pssble t wuld be preferable t have the vlnst whstle the ndcated ptches n purely textural sectns (makng an attet t preserve the vwel transfrmatns), and t sng the vcalzatns wth fragments f text an ctave dwn. All unptched gestures ndcated wth "x" nteheads wll use the staff t ndcate cntur rather than a specfc ptch class, wth the tp lne beng the hghest part f the range n the nstrument, the center lne beng the cmfrtable mddle prtn f the range, and the bttm lne beng the lwest part f the range.
