Sing Happy Birthday. Begin on any note you choose. (G, D and A are good).
Proceed with your own sense of pulse.
Tempo: semi-quaver (16th note) = 120 (BPM 24)
Sing independently. Do not attempt to sing ‘with’ other performers but if you coincide this is fine.
The cellist is the clock.
Begin when the cellist starts the stopwatch and begins to raise the bow arm.
The piece finishes when either the cellist has reached the strings, or you have come to the end of the song.
The piece lasts 1 minute and 30 seconds.
To be performed with Anima 7 (Takehisa Kosugi) - a shortened version.
