About the work

The piece consists of notes passed along a group of players, leading to an effect the sound sweeping along, and building to a crescendo of chaotic simultaneous singing.

Technical notes

Detailed technical instructions are given with the score. The aim is to construct a performance whereby the sound seeps from left to right across the row of singers, by singers taking notes from one another.
