NYMPHOLEPSY FOR SOLO FLUTE ADAM SCOTT NEAL 2 PERFORMANCE NOTES: 1. "Nympholepsy." 1) In ancient times, a state of frenzy that was believed to seize any man who looked upon a nymph. 2) A violent emotional state, especially that believed to result from desire for some unattainable ideal. (Webster's Dictionary). 2. The beginning and ending sections are unmeasured and may be performed fairly freely. However a quick tempo of 80 beats per minute is optimal. The middle section, which is meausred, is slower and is intended to be more strict in tempo. 3. Accidentals pertain only to the note they precede except in cases of immediate repetition. 4. All dynamics not preceded by crecendo or diminuendo markings should be subito. 5. Beginning on page 5 there are gestures in which the dynamics read f > mf > mp > p. In these gestures, the first diminuendo should diminish beyond mf, then the performer should play mf when marked. The second diminuendo should diminish beyond mp, then the performer should play mp where marked, and so on. The effect here should resemble an echo or an electronic delay line. 6. 4" = 4 seconds 7. Nympholepsy was premiered on February 15, 2005 in Atlanta, Georgia by Sara Booker as part of the neoPhonia New Music Ensemble concert "Red Clay Connections." 8.
