“GIVE ME THIS, AND I WILL GIVE YOU EVERYTHING.” IS A SET OF FIVE (MOSTLY) LYRICAL MINIATURES. ALL MOVEMENTS ARE PERFORMED ATTACCA.

​

PIANO DYNAMICS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STAFF APPLY TO BOTH STAVES.

DYNAMICS UNDER THE BOTTOM STAFF APPLY ONLY TO THE LEFT HAND.

​

METRONOME MARKINGS ARE INTENTIONALLY OMITTED EXCLUDING MOVEMENT 2. TEMPO IN 1, 2, AND 4 SHOULD BE LOOSE AND LEAD BY THE TRUMPETER.

“III. CLOSE THE DOOR, OPEN ANOTHER.” IS BUILT FROM A CONSTANT HAMMERING ON THE LOWEST NOTE OF THE PIANO. WHENEVER THIS NOTE IS STRUCK, THERE SHOULD BE NEAR SILENCE FROM BOTH TRUMPET AND THE REST OF THE PIANO.
