V6-MINI

[Use enharmonic synemmenon dromos hitzaz mode with çıkıcı-İnici seyir for all harmonic elements. Bassline follows strictly by doubling lead instruments in perfect fourths.] [Male voice A - Милош, male, serbian construction worker: gruff maqam bass-baritone with prominent buhha and squillo, microtonal bends, melismatic, zero rapping, slow, deliberate shirabyoshi phrasing.] [Male voice B: Felix - male: german construction foreman: german lied light lyric tenor. Delivery: smooth legato, measured, clear diction. Aloof, haughty and fully dependent on Prosper. Sings fluently in all languages cited.] [Male voice C: Pigeon - male: narrator: snarky buffo bass. Delivery: smooth legato, measured, clear diction. Aloof, haughty and fully dependent on Prosper. Sings fluently in all languages cited.] [choral elements: construction workers choir: drunken kakegoe shouts.] [Lyrics in serbian, french, english and german] [Dynamics swell - full ensemble *including drums* joins immediately on beat 1] [Vorspiel starts with full intensity - 2 bars, full crescendo] [All vorspiels are the same copy/pasted from the opener, ghammaz section is the only one that changes the pattern.] [Vorspiel - 2 bars] [Verse 1] [Pigeon, further "P":] The voice of sorrow doth sing With its own discordant Complacency. The effervescent voice Of the suffering serbian bear Doth echo, stentorian, Throughout the Baustelle. [Vorspiel - 2 bars] [Miloš, further "M"] [sings with dert, his singing is atrocious] Ајде, Јано, коња да продамо! Ајде, Јано, ајде душо, Коња да продамо! Да продамо, само да играмо, Да продамо, Јано, душо, Само да играмо! [P] Is there something magical In this gruff voice Pulling Herr Weber Nearer and nearer? The notes descend In viscous cadence Then ascend With shiv'ring potence. Words he cannot cognize, Nor the meaning agnize, Yet he doth fully recognize The sentiment behind The lill of the grainy vocal. [Vorspiel - 2 bars] [Verse 2] [M] Come for the free concert, eh? Stay awhile and listen, then. [Felix, further "F"] Ich bin sprachlos, wie schön das war! [M] Dann musst du schlechten Geschmack haben, Fräulein Vorarbeiter. [F] What happened? Care to tell me? [M] She married another last week. Didn't want to wait for me. Wasn't waiting exactly... [F] I see. Tut mir Leid. [M] You have someone Waiting for you Somewhere out there? [F] Not that I know of. [P, total disbelief and mocking tone] My eyne do not deceive, What is this reprieve? No harsh words Nor clenched fists. He gives Felix His bottle of ракија, As he sat beside him. His grimace volumes doth speak. Doesn't seem to like the intensity. [Instrumental bridge - Ghammaz section with taqsim - 2 bars] [F] Can you sing a german song? [P] A few moments of silence Afore all comes to violence... [M] [sings with dert, his singing is atrocious] "Du, du hast, du hast mich... Du, du hast, du hast mich, du hast mich... Du hast mich gefragt, du hast mich gefragt... Du hast mich gefragt und ich hab nichts gesagt!..." [Ghammaz Section - non-lexical vocalizations] [M] Like it? [F] Not bad... [M] Sing with me, then... [Miloš and Felix sing together] *"Du, du hast, du hast mich..." [Vorspiel - 2 bars] [Verse 3] [P, deadpan serious but actually mocking] I was feeling a bit fuzzy today. This resolved all the problems. No need for emetics anymore. À bon entendeur, salut ! [start fade out, slow down] [Vorspiel - 2 bars, fadeout] [Outro] * 嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯... * 嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯... [end]
