Description
SKU: AN.AMP-0442
Composed by Mary Goetze. Octavo. Alliance Music Publications #AMP 0442. Published by Alliance Music Publications (AN.AMP-0442).Goetze.
The effect I look for in the pipes and wind sounds is that of wind blowing through rushes and reeds.
PIPES:
I recommend cutting 1/2 PVC pipes into the following lengths:
The pipes can be tuned by shortening them very slightly to raise the pitch, so I recommend cutting them a tiny bit long and shortening them as needed. You may block one end with tape. The open ends should be blown across, like the hole of a flute. A breathy sound is fine as long as the pitches are perceivable. Any number can be used, but the effect should be quiet and natural, with gentle random unarticulated attacks (i.e., without tonguing) .At the end, each one should fade and stop producing pitch, but just blowing enough to get a wind sound that can fade to nothing. Tenor and alto.recorders, blown gently and without vibrato, can be used as well.
