Correspondence.

Ben  Jose.  2010  

Correspondence  is  written  for  any  number  of  pitched  
instruments.  
  
Each  player  must  have  a  contact  number,  for  example  a  landline  
or  mobile  telephone  number.  
 
Each  player  then  works  their  way  through  the  set  of  ten  
movements  (0  –  9)  provided  with  the  score,  in  a  sequence  
determined  by  the  figures  of  this  contact  number.  
 
For  instance,  if  a  player’s  contact  number  is  –  07965114036,  then  
the  player  would  perform  movement  zero,  then  movement  
seven,  then  movement  nine,  then  movement  six  etc.    And  so  on,  
until  a  passage  for  each  digit  of  the  contact  number  has  been  
performed.  
 
Players  are  free  to  make  their  own  interpretation  of  dynamics,  
tempo  and  articulation  however  all  should  remain  as  consistent  
as  possible  throughout  the  performance.    
 
The  scores  for  each  movement  may  be  transposed  to  any  clef  or  
octave  to  suit  specific  instruments  however  the  pitches  (notated  
at  concert  pitch)  should  remain  as  written.  
 
Where  a  figure  within  a  contact  number  repeats,  a  movement  
should  also  be  repeated.  
 
Transition  from  one  movement  to  the  next  should  be  as  smooth  
as  possible.      
 
The  duration  is  the  time  taken  for  all  players  to  perform  all  
movements  of  their  contact  number.
