The Tree

PERFORMANCE NOTES
This piece is aleatoric. The pianist sets the pulse for the piece from their entrance at 0:40. Players play the sections in boxes until cued by the pre-recorded track. Be sure you are certain of the pianist's pulse before moving on to the next section. Players should also complete the previous section before moving on. At about 6:00, the aleatoric section ends. The final section of humming should be in unison.
 
PROGRAM NOTE
TheTree is dedicated to the memory of my dear sister, Susheela Sankaram, who passed away on 9/19/19 at the age of 39.
