PROGRAM NOTE:
a prelude, for flexible chamber ensemble, is a study in texture. Each players' part is divided into 15-second increments, within which they are presented pitches and gestural ideas, but indeterminate rhythm. It was written for Terminus Ensemble, and can be played in any combination of four or more instruments, with optional “tape” part.
PERFORMANCE NOTES:
1. On your parts, you will see timings in 15-second increments, but no bar lines, tempo, etc. It is intended that the players drift apart and play molto rubato. A stopwatch is recommended. Don’t worry if you are off by a few seconds. Catch up where you can.
2. In general, black noteheads should be short, while open/white noteheads are long.
3. The dynamics are also left fairly basic; you are encouraged to fluctuate a little.
4. The gesture with repeated notes is usually grouped in sets of 4 or 8. Think 32nd notes.
5. The overall harmonic scheme is a series of modal areas descending by fourths on C, G, D, A, and E. 6. The wind players should emulate pizzicato on the staccato notes – quick attack, but not too short.
7. When you reach your final note, hold it until the others catch up. Release together.
8. Total duration should be around 4:40-4:45, depending on the final fermata's duration.
9. This piece has no score; only parts. It is intended to “work” with any combination of 4 or more instruments.a. With more than 8 or so players, each person can eliminate occasional notes so the texture is not too thick.b. If you have an instrument that is not included, please alert me ([email protected]) and, given enough time,I will make a part for that instrument.

a prelude part for narrator Adam Scott Neal, 2017

an introductory piece of music
an introduction to something more important
0:15 [like a yoga teacher] a prelude prelude to the afternoon of a faun named Shaun, who was eating prawns fighting a yawn before mowing the lawn
0:30 [like an infomercial] a prelude prelude to a kiss, view to a kill, fit to a T -- tea or coffee, Mac or PC, chicken or beef, boxers or briefs
0:45 [like a news anchor] a prelude in fact, a Honda Prelude sorry, this just in -- a Honda Civic - Civic unrest and civil disobedience
1:00 [like Matthew McConaughey] a prelude
high on quaaludes
all the young dudes (and Huey Lewis) carry the news

1:15 [like a reporter in an old movie] a prelude lewd comments about lubrication, mastication of tubers, and eradication of tumors read all about it!
1:30 [abstract - NOT poking fun at stutterers] a prelude ah puh purr pray ray rail lude duh
1:45 [first line normal, the rest as fast as you can] a prelude a preliminary primer for preppy preschoolers reciting "Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers"
2:00 [like a movie trailer] a prelude praying to a god Shiva or Allahpraying mantis, prey and predator, Alien vs. Predator Predator vs. Arnold or Danny Glover
2:15 [like a TED Talk] a prelude
a preapproved, prepackaged premarital parenthetical paranoid paramour
2:30 [like a rap MC] a prelude apropos po-boy probate court ruling class dismiss-demeanor than a junkyard dog whisperer sweet nothing compares to U, no-THING compares... to U

3:00 [like a judgmental old hippie] a prelude hey prude, lay nude! eat. pray. love. snooze.

should you be doing something more important?
3:45 [increasingly existential interior monologue] a prelude
what's next?
what's more important?
4:00 [interior monologue resolved?] a prelude
to something more important
4:15 [with quiet confidence] something important
