Score, 25 pages; Notes, 7 pages.Flute, B Flat Clarinet, Violin, Violoncello. Duration: CA. 9'Ground: for Four Players and Their Instruments is a piece of music written for flute, clarinet, violin, and violoncello. The facets of this piece that make it unique are those which may not have had any possibility of existence without the services provided by the University of Oregon Libraries. For this piece alone, over 600 hours were spent on library computers utilizing Cycling 74’s Max/MSP, the Python programming environment, MakeMusic’s Finale, and Adobe Illustrator, spread out on large tables outside the Douglas Listening Room, or scanning through the stacks over the course of about 10 months. It is clear that not a single aspect of this project would be possible without the resources provided by the library.en-USrights_reservedMusical Score
