three staves by david toub
three staves is a work for open instrumentation and the score is written as three individual staves. The initial part is a series of patterns to be repeated multiple times, and in many cases the performers are playing at different speeds. Most of the work is 12-tone, and strictly so, and the last portion is relatively fast and entirely consists of 16th notes. The audio was realized for two vibraphones and a single piano line; there are many potential instrumental options, but one constraint is that the instruments would need to be able to play sustained tones.
