Marc Sabat Erbsen for 5 recorders or solo recorder with prerecorded track
PLAINSOUND MUSIC EDITION
Erbsen (2009) for 5 recorders or solo recorder with prerecorded track for Lucia Mense NOTES ABOUT THE INTERPRETATION Named after the perennial flowering vegetable. Each mvt given the suggestion of a Baroque dance. Each a transformation of the previous as a ground. The players act as a kind of consort. All the material can only exist together, as a fused texture, not polyphony. A set of bright blocks. Resultant melodies from contrasts in each part – of register, volume, timbre, articulation. Two versions are possible: one player playing with a prerecorded track of herself playing on the same set of five instruments: bass, tenor, alto, soprano, sopranino - this track may be played back on four speakers spatially distributed or in a stereo pan with the player in the center. Alternately, the piece may be performed live by a consort of five players. Berlin, 30 March 2009
Marc Sabat : Erbsen JUST INTONATION LATTICE DIAGRAMS
left-to-right = a just perfect fifth (2:3 ratio, 702¢) down-up = a just major third (4:5 ratio, 386¢) cents are based on A as a reference (0 ¢) *
* This A may be tuned to any desired reference frequency – the cents relationships still hold true on a tuning meter. Either leave the electronic tuner set to Equal Temperament and play the deviations note-bynote, or program the tuner in advance to the various settings below. In each movement, there may well be several notes with TWO occurring intonations, for example A and A-arrow-down. In such cases, it is important to observe that the arrow is an alteration by one Syntonic Comma: 22 cents (almost 1/8-tone). So, if the tuner reads A-natural as 0, then A-arrow-down must read as -22. In other movements, there may be a C-natural and a C-arrow-up. If C-natural (normally tuned -6 in relation to Equal Temperament) is programmed to read as 0, then C-arrow up (normally tuned +16) will read +22.
