• Strings (in Reconstitution): Cluster rip. Start at any point within the<br />
indicated range and rip extremely fast towards the upper end of the<br />
string range. No specific pitch should be discernible.<br />
• Small noteheads indicate (a) the approximate pitch at the end of a<br />
glissando, a boundary which should not be audible as a pitch or (b) a<br />
left-hand figuration which is not attacked at all by the right hand.<br />
Acknowledgements<br />
I would like to thank Arthur Post, music director of the <strong>Thunder</strong> Bay<br />
Symphony Orchestra for the inspiration he has been during numerous<br />
actual and online conversations leading up to the composition and premiere<br />
performance of <strong>Thunder</strong> <strong>Drum</strong>; the TBSO for commissioning this work and<br />
the Ontario Arts Council for providing funds for it. Last but not least, I would<br />
like to thank Tanya Tagaq for sharing her remarkable throat songs with<br />
me for the second movement. She is an inspiration and a bright star for<br />
her people during these days of strife but also reconstitution for the native<br />
inhabitants of Canada.<br />
