DescriptionInstructions for performance by Raven Chacon:
For Heidi Senungetuk
Place a sheet of tracing paper over the score page (also printed on tracing paper), so the staves are visible through the overlaid sheet
Compose a melody by drawing noteheads in position on this overlaid sheet of paper over the first staff on the score.
Place the tracing paper with the drawn noteheads behind the score page.
Trace the row of noteheads onto each staff of the score page, aware that the noteheads may represent new pitches.
Perform the five staves seamlessly with any instrument, at a pace so that the total duration of the performance is five minutes.
