Ventilation Manual

Van Nostrand, B

Written in memoriam, Ventilation Manual: A Dusk Ceremonial for flute (doubling alto flute) and harp is part of a series of manuals that Van Nostrand wrote between 1972 77, all of which exhaustively explore the sonic and textural possibilities of instruments and voices. They include Fantasy Manual for Urban Survival (for flute, cello, and piano), Earth Manual (for soprano and chamber ensemble), Emergency Plumbers Manual (for brass quintet and piano), and Lunar Possession Manual (for soprano and chamber ensemble).

In four sections - Spiral Priests' Wind Chant, Crystal Visions, Night Song: Moon Flowers in the Enchanted Domain, and From the Other Side - the Ventilation Manual explores the very edges of extended techniques in echoes - or anticipation - of George Crumb and others.
