Description

Composer’s note:
"While looking for a text to punctuate the percussive continuum of what was later to be called Cartesian Rainbow, I came across Descartes’ explanation of how rainbows are formed. I was surprised to see how imaginative the names of colors are. By comparison, the labels for tone colour are bland and cumbersome. Once again, the eye triumphs over the ear - no wonder the saying is “a picture is worth a thousand words”. The text spoken by the percussionist lists the colors of the rainbow and colours found with equidistant frequency before or between them: [Rosewood, guardsman red], red, orange, [blaze orange], yellow, [electric lime, chartreuse, bright green], green, [cyan, dodger blue, azure radiance, blue ribbon], blue, [electric violet, pigment indigo, ripe plumb, pompadour], indigo, violet."
Mike Svoboda

Orchestral Cast

5 pieces of wood tuned within a fourth (400¢) played with wooden hammers or thick wooden sticks - 1 piece of wood to saw into - 1 saw - 1 piece of wood to hammer into (could be the same one for the saw) - 1 hammer - 1 large nail - 1 pail of water - 1 container (tub, shallow cardboard box, i.e.) of gravel large enough to walk in place in - The five pieces of wood could be logs, pieces of lumber, sticks, wood blocks, xylophone or marimba bars, etc. The upper and lower piece of wood shouldbe tuned 400¢ apart with the three other pieces distributed freely in between. The gravel should be of a light grade, so that the sound of walking in it is fairly continuous and somewhat uniform.
