Handel variations
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Grant Cho Covell's Handel variations. Handel Variations: Theme with twenty-five variations on the Sonatina in B-flat Major (G. 40) by George Frideric Handel (1997) for tape. Each with differing sonic characteristics and sound processing. Designed to be played from a CD, so that any number of variations in any order can be performed (in fact, the variations’ numbering scheme purposely thwarts a chronological order). In an ideal performance, the variations and the theme would be played in random order, but so that the following program notes are useful, a random order is already provided.

La Feria Fantástica
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Igor de Gandarias' La Feria Fantástica. This work was realized at the University of Maryland Electronic Music Studio using a Fairlight Series III station. The sound sources come from live recordings made in 1991 during the celebration of the most important popular feast in Guatemala City, called “Feria de Jocotenago” (Jocotenango’s fair). The feast, dedicated to celebrate the city’s patron anniversary (Virgin of the Assumption), takes place in August every year, enduring the complete month. Its activities contain not only religious ceremonies and processions with their particular musical environment (choirs and processional bands) but folk dances, food, games and entertainment. The recordings include: voices of a children's choir and voices of congregated people singing into the church, Indian speaking voices, snare drum processional patterns and rolls, a popular processional band piece, and a traditional Indian marimba piece which accompanies popular Indian dances during the procession. The sound of rhythmic patterns played on the rattles by the dancers; electronic games, church bells and the little bell of an ice-cream vendor were also recorded at the fair. Other sounds coming from three musical toys, which are usually on sale on these feasts, were recorded in studio.

Vers l'autre source du flux
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Serge Belimov's Vers l'autre source du flux. This work is for voice, flute, and tape and was written at the Ateliers UPIC (now CCMIX - Center for Musical Creation Iannis Xenakis). In the vocal part of this work, the composer achieves a perpetual continuum between the "breath" sound, the sung sound and the spoken sound, such as one often encounters in extra-European music. In the flute part, the same continuum is created by the interaction of several playing modes. The UPIC tape samples were created from voice and flute.

Les dits de nobuyo
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Pierre Mariétan's Les dits de nobuyo. The composer states: "The "reality show" is that of the sound, of its own story implemented here in the relationship of the voices to each other with the noises captured, all of this inscribed in the silence of the composition. What these sounds, the voices, the story say, is to be interpreted by the listener according to his feelings, the awareness of what he perceives. The reality show does not want to be, like on television, the alibi of a unique and bygone reality. Its conclusion is that of the listener, discovering through the acoustic image that comes to him, not a visual representation of the sound (whatever one does one will never see a sound), but a formal configuration , dimensioned, resulting from the alliance of sound and space."
