(Un) Winding

Roman Benedict

Performance Notes:
The work moves from a free space into a more structured one. As such time at the beginning is exible.
Rather than beating time the conductor should provide cues for entries or transitions, indicated in score
and parts as dotted and double barlines. Standard barlines are used when the pulse gets stronger and
within extended motifs, and the parts should have settled on the same beat (lead by the conductor) by
letter D. Tempo indications and timing lengths are approximate.
Woodwind:
The parts do not need to be synchronised with the percussion parts (particularly at the start), but should
be synchronised with each other. The players should take their cues from each other (and are both
provided with a dual part).
The woodwind should provide a sustained sound, and should let the longer notes resonate, shaping
phrases expressively where possible.
Piano/Harp/Vibraphone:
For much of the work the parts consist of expanding mobiles, indicated by boxed notes. These should start
when indicated and continue for the duration of the proceeding arrow. Pauses between mobiles are
allowed, but there should be a continuous foundation of sound. The parts do not need to be rhythmically
synchronised at the start, but should come together when the pulse gets stronger.
Vibrophone and Piano should use the pedal where appropriate, and the Harp should likewise let vibrate.
