Individual part. 5 pages. Adam Lenhart #1071793. Published by Adam Lenhart (A0.1495274). From the Composer “I was listening to a small music box one night–quite old–which spun the same 8 bars of music again and again. I listened for several minutes and amazingly never grew tired of the old tune. Between the percussive nature of the instrument and the unique intervals the out-of-tune comb robotically produced, I could not help but imagine what the tune would sound like when played by the large, rotating drum found on so many carillons. I remember visiting Belgium and seeing these extremely large automatic-playing drums. They resembled so much, on a larger scale, the music boxes I had been so intrigued by since I was a child. The human desire for and fascination in automatic music has long been a part of our musical tradition. While this dream has long since been achieved, these short etudes celebrate the bond between two past efforts to make this fascination a reality: the music box and the carillon.” Adam Lenhart, 2024 Performance Notes These short etudes are written to be practiced and performed on any octave of your instrument. You may find certain etudes are even more effective when displaced, depending on the timbre of the carillon in question. Repeats may be executed indefinitely; upon repeating, you may choose to transpose to one octave higher/lower if desired. Let these short pieces provide a foundation to improvise upon, or as an exercise in ornamentation. After a final repeat or variation, some etudes provide a final bar or chord. Titles that do not should treat the repeat as a double bar line.
