Witch gong gang II/10 : [score]

MS-5-21, Oversize Folder 3
Item
1994

Part of Paul Cram fonds

Item is an annotated graphic score of "Witch Gong Gang II/10," composed by Barry Guy for the cooperative New Orchestra Workshop in Vancouver, British Columbia. It was performed by the Upstream Orchestra on May 18, 2013 at the International Festival de Musique Actuel in Victoriaville, Quebec, along with "Convoy HFX" and "The Magic Order."

Guy developed graphic score to present all necessary material to performers on one page using gathered information such as individual music preferences, and musical and improvisational abilities. Guy notes that while the music is conducted by flash cards, players possess veto power in which they can change the course of the music within a set of rules. The score is predominantly in standard notation, with graphic notation and symbols situated in the center and top of the pages. The black diamond shaped-graphic featured in the center-left of the score reflects the internal tensions of the ensemble and potential for chaos, though the musical modules appear to be in equilibrium.
