WILLYN WHITING, COMPOSER
Gaudy (2019)
for four musicians 06'
PROGRAM NOTE
Gaudy was originally a plan for an electronic work. I later adapted the initial sketch into a graphic score. I decided that the gestures which I had in mind were so broad and contrasting that the did not need to be realized in a specific way. Instead they could be the basis for improvisation.
