Instructions for VOX ORGANALIS (Medieval term=improvised voice) 1) If there are added instruments they should play only a few tones at a time before becoming silent......then continue in the same manner. 2) Piano or Organ play all tones and change registers as repeats begin. 3) Voices establish tonal regions above and below middle C. On repeats
they can change registers of groups of tones or single tones. The long
Lontano tones can have shifting tones within (glissandi, etc.). Use full
SATB ranges on repeats. 4) Conductor"s downbeats cue performers IN and OUT, and direct them (accel) to sustained chord goals as well as establish duration of formatas. 5) Conductor also directs shifts in dynamics i.e. ppp<f>ppp<mf>ppp<sfz etc. 6) Duration of this work will be established by the conductor. |
