Readymade Alice (2011)

commissioned by

the 4th International Harald Andersén Competition



Performance instructions:

/Q/ Texts written within slashes use the normal IPA

(International Phonetic Alphabet) system.

[i] Phonemes in brackets are ”extra” phonemes not belonging to the written words in

order to indicate the phase of the word when the word continues over rests. f. ex.:”is”! i-[i]-[i]-s.

word: ”trying” The word to be sung is sometimes (f. ex. melismas or gradual changes of phonemes)written partly with the IPA system. In order to clarify the word, it is indicated above

the first note.

0-line staff & cross-headed notes: Voiced consonants & vowels are usually to be performed app. 1/4-voiced (almost whispered), BUT sometimes voiceless, if

indicated. Voiceless consonants are naturally voiceless. Any pitch (relative or absolute) is not determined, but only the approximate contour of spoken prosody.

The character is sometimes indicated separately in the score; f.ex. ” sweetly, gently”.

0-line staff & normal note heads: voiced / spoken. Any pitch (relative/absolute) isnot determined, but only an approximate contour of spoken prosody. Characters of

passages are sometimes indicated separately in the score; f.ex. ” as a hesitatedquestion”.

3-line staff & cross headed notes: half-voiced (half-whispered). Registers should

always be audible and exaggerated: the upper line = very high voice, the middle line

= normal speaking voice, the lower line = very low voice.

3-line staff & normal note heads: voiced, the technique to be used is indicated in the

score: spoken / speech-sung. The upper line = very high voice, the middle line =normal speaking voice, the lower line = very low voice.

as high as possible / as low as possible.

for male voices: falsetto.

creaking: quiet creaking from vocal cords, as low sound as it is naturally possible

(very relaxed). Vowel colours are determined with the text.

pitched ”buzzing” on a voiced consonant (indicated in the score).

gradual change between adjacent phonems, like slowing down speed of atape/soundfile.

Dynamic markings in quotation marks indicate relative dynamics, not the actual ones.
