The Native Inhabitants of The World of San Pateo v.41_FullScore

Composer's Notes:
Percussion:
-The crotales, xylophone, and marimba mallet choices should sound as ethnic
and "unclassical" as possible.
-the "blow bottle" should be a glass or plastic bottle that resonates
with strong and deep tone - if it could be tuned to Bb that would be ideal.
it is blown on by the percussionist.
-The tuned toms should sound "jungly" and resonate soundly - they shouldn't
sound "rockish"
-The jungle shakers could be anything that sounds "jungly" be it goats nails,
rice shakers or the like.
-I've acquired puilli sticks rather cheaply online from hawaiian dance websites -
they shouldn't cost more than 20$ for a pair.
balance and the bass flutes:
-the bass flute melodies should be accompanied in an appropriate manner
so they aren't completely drowned out by the ensemble.
-In the event that bass flutes cannot be found please have the parts read on
normal flutes (please insist they switch to piccolo when instructed on the part)
performance:
There are a few times in the piece where multiple timelines are employed.
the first comes at "Vamp Sequence one" bar 212. The french horn should
take their own tempo and phrasing as if they are a priest giving
a ceremonial incantation to the gathered tribe.
The conductor must cut off the saxes after about four beats according
to the previous tempo (independent of the tempo of the solo horn recit.)
then the conductor must then hold and wait for the horn recit
to finish. Next conduct bars 213-215.
At bar 216 the ensemble vamps in the tempo of 213-215 while the
french horn continues their incantation at their own pace.
after the horn tremolo at the end of bar 216 the conductor conducts
both the horn and ensemble in tempo at 217 by clearly signaling the
start of bar 217.
the rest of the horn incantation is in tempo with the ensemble.
The second timeline event happens at bar 246.
Here the conductor must give 136 bpm to the timpani and harp while keeping
the rest of the ensemble in the tempo of the previous bars.
The harp and timpani then play their jungle pattern, sounding as if they are journeying
from far away and very slowly getting closer. they always stay at 136 bpm
even though the ensemble is slowing down and fading out.
when the ensemble is done with their lines in bars 246-250 the
harp and timpani have already moved on to their vamp in 251-252 getting
slowly increasingly louder
when an adequate amount of time has passed clearly signal and conduct
bar 251. here the tom tom comes in then the ensemble takes
the second ending and finishes the piece.
