Product Description


Selective Memory by Paul Burnell.
Composed 2011 for one or more instruments in C / Bb / F / Eb, reading treble clef, with recorded backing and/or keyboard(s) and/or drone.

Duration 10:50

The pre-recorded backing can be provided by the composer, or an alternate recording may be made by the performers at a rehearsal - a recording of them discussing the piece.

Examples of drone instruments - cello, double bass, organ, accordion etc. Voices may sing the drone notes or sustain notes from the instrumental line.

Performers omit and sustain certain notes ad lib. and return to written notes as if they had continued playing. Keyboard players may also omit/sustain notes within chords Sympathetic ornamentation and improvisation is possible. Transposing instruments play as written and do not transpose. Coordination may be aided with a conductor. Timings are given in minutes:seconds for when playing with the recorded backing and/or drone (which starts at 0:00). Drone pitches are shown at the beginning and at rehearsal letters. Dynamic are decided by the performers.

There is a recorded version of this piece on Paul Burnell's 2013 album 'Cabbage Heads'.
