(18641911) published 1890.
Guy de Maupassant was a French
writer, remembered as a master of the short story. It has been suggested that the word "horla"
is a blending of the French words hors ("outside") and là ("there") and the
title can be interpreted as "the whats out there".
Percussion: Wind wand or bullroarer
and two guiros (or similar). Players read from the score.
Narrator cues are shown in the score
in boxed text and below in square brackets. Between rehearsal letters [D] and [H] the
percussionists maintain tempo; the narrator cues are for guidance only.
