Sternutation
During the COVID-19 pandemic, musicians were looking for creative outlets. Many took to requesting new works to present via video or streamed, and some featured less-common instruments. One that caught my eye was for melodica - a keyboard instrument that requires that the performer blow through a tube in order to make sounds. I decided to use social distancing and cleaning protocols as part of the inspiration for this composition.
I can’t recall who posted the call for works - and I forgot to send the score to the performer at any rate. Sternutation remains unperformed at this point.
