Le terme 'drones' est emprunté à l'anglais et désigne littéralement un 'bourdonnement', un bruit parasite. L'origine de ce mot se situe au Moyen-Âge où ce mot est associé à la musique et caractérise la technique du fauxbourdon, à l'aube de la polyphonie. Il désigne également les avions furtifs, exploités dans les conflits modernes. En outre, on emploie souvent 'drones' pour évoquer les soubassements sonores qui hantent les films de David Lynch... C'est l'ensemble de ces significations qui trouve de nombreux échos dans cette musique.Pierre Jodlowski / Ensemble

This Drones, Variations, Ornaments sheet music is the full score for this innovative and dramatic piece by Nico Muhly . According to Muhly , this piece is music in constant transformation, featuring steadily evolving melodies from a number of instruments, punctuated with hugely original percussive parts, with instructions to fill the Cymbal with chain, coins and other metal objects in order to make it sound like glass shattering. It is this inspired composition that makes Drones, Variations, Ornaments the interesting and acclaimed piece that it is. With this piece, Muhly has attempted to recreate the sound and motion of a machine through music. String chords begin the piecewith a light and soothing opening, before the machine (made up of Winds, Guitar, Percussion and Piano) awakens. This truly unusual piece is a joy to listen to and perform, and we are pleased to offer this full score to you.

A fascinating and thrilling piece for piano and pre-recorded elements, composed for pianist Bruce Brubaker. Each movement begins with a pre-recorded drone that underlies the rest of the movement. This allows for a certain degree of improvisation in the tempo and the rests which can give an element of unpredictability to each performance. To obtain the pre-recorded sounds for your own performance, contact the publisher at promotions@musicsales.co. uk.

The drones for Lean can be played by any combination of other instruments, either live or pre-recorded. These can be as simple as a single string instrument or many instruments playing very quietly. Although the drones should remain in the background, I encourage making small subtle shifts in volume or timbre - never anything overly dramatic or obtrusive. It is imperative that the drones not be transposed up or down the octave; they must be G3 and D4. Ideally, the solo violists would stand as far away from one another as possible, to create an extreme stereo effect. Lean is dedicated to Jonah & Nadia Sirota. - Nico Muhly.

It’s virtually impossible to visit Ireland without feeling an instant appreciation for the scenic countryside, the endearing charm of its many citizens, and for the deep-rooted history of the country’s many crowning achievements. Solo trumpet/cornet (cued for euphonium) packaged with a brief, but optional, vocal solo highlights the beginning and ending of this beautiful piece. The middle section is pure Irish charm with a light and lively theme performed over the drones of bagpipes along with the rudimental sounds of drummers drumming. Simply stunning!
