Duration: ca.14 minutes

The score is transposed

Notes

The video has 2-channel sound:

L = mono sound from video to be sent to stereo PA, R = click track

The click track should go to the conductor (or if no conductor, then to all players). The music must be performed alongside the accompanying video, projected as large as possible. The ensemble must be ampliﬁed and blended with the spoken word on the video, so that the spoken word is clearly audible/comprehensible. To aid projection, the room should be darkened and music stand lights used.
