System Piece 1


for chamber orchestra with ad lib musicians

  • Instrumentation
    chamber orchestra is 1111; 1000; strings
  • Programme Note

    The composer writes, “I supply all the musicians with a pitch and alphabet letter scale. Each musician composes their own instrumental part at the rehearsal following a code supplied – they all spell their names and their instruments name, and build the musical material out of the corresponding pitches (that go with the letters)”.

  • Instrumentation
    chamber orchestra is 1,1,1,1; 1,0,0,0; strings
  • Programme Note

    The composer writes, “I supply the musicians 12 music motifs on one page. They need to choose the 12 motifs and arrange them in any order to make their own piece with the motif material. The music is pulsed and the motifs are rhythmic – the scale’s modal”.
