Description
An account of the resource
Ink, paper, wood, tape, glass
Grainger scored his compositions Free Music No.1 and Free Music No.2 (1936-7) for multiple theremins. These scores were reproduced by Grainger in this Free Music Legend which he made for the Grainger Museum’s official opening on 10 December 1938. The musical scores are like graphs: the y-axis indicates a pitch range from A sharp below middle C upwards for two octaves, and a volume range from ppp to fff; the x-axis indicates the flow of time. The scores were extremely difficult to perform accurately, and Grainger realised he would have to create his own instruments to bring his Free Music concept to reality.
