Performance!Indications:::!!General:!This"piece"is"to"be"performed"by"the"two"performers,"facing"each"other."The"music"is"

both"singular"(homophonic)"as"well"as"conversational"(antiphonal,"contrapuntal)"

and"it"reflects"the"anxietyWaddled,"prescription/illicit"drugWaddled"mind"of"someone"

in"a"romantic"(in"the"original"sense"of"the"word)"relationship"—"prone"to"emotional"

flights"and"mood"swings,"the"inability"to"articulate"feelings"and"thoughts,"the"

repetition"of"mantra,"the"stream"of"words"that"accompany"love"and"lust"and"

infatuation"and"sadness"and"insecurity,"et"al."The"subtitle"Litanies*relates"to"the"listWlike"nature"of"much"of"the"text."The"music"should"be"haunting"and"sentimental,"

though"retaining"both"irony"and"sarcasm"in"its"earnestness."Dramatically,"we"should"

be"unsure"whether"this"music"is"for"two"people"or"one."

A*note*on*the*text:**Most"of"the"piece"is"performed"in"a"free,"sprechstimmeWlike"manner."The"emphasis"

is"on"vocal""acting""and"conveying"mood"and"emotion."Oftentimes,"the"vocal"part"is"

broken"down"and"recomposed"in"discrete"parts"that"rapidly"change"technique,"

color,"and"character."At"these"points"(i.e."mm."83W98),"emphasizing"the"contracts"is"

important."That"is,"the"music"should"have"“edges,”"individual"gestures"performed"as"

if"they"are"in"boxes"and"then"rearranged."Performance"and"mood"indications"are"

given"when"they"are"needed."

The"text"is"fragmented"in"many"instances"throughout"the"piece"in"a"sort"of"musical"

aphasia."The"pronunciation"in"these"instances"should"remain"consistent"as"if"the"

whole"word"were"to"be"pronounced.""

Words"may"also"be"fragmented"into"single"vowel"and"consonant"sounds"and"are"

contained"within"brackets"[!]."These"should"be"pronounced"according"to"the"context"given."

"

Vowels:"

Vocal*Staff*&*Symbols:*!

"The"staff"and"clef"that"is"most"prevalent"for"the"vocalist"is"a"3WlineWstaff"

accompanied"by"an"arrow"clef."The"clef"indicates"low"to"high"“pitch”"or"“frequency”"

of"the"sound"performed."The"middle"line"indicates"roughly"the"normal,"comfortable"

speaking/singing"range"of"the"vocalist;"the"lower"line"indicates"a"tessitura"that"is"

located"around"the"lowerWhead/chest;"and"the"higher"line"indicates"a"tessitura"that"

resides"mainly"in"the"head."Any"of"the"following"symbols"can"be"placed"on"this"staff."
