PREFACE

HYMNS TO INANNA is a three-movement, mixed media work

based on English translations from ancient Sumerian text.

The text is sung by SATB choir and is musically illustrated

by computer-generated sound (on tape) and by an acoustic

instrumental ensemble including harp, flutes and percussion.

The purpose of the musical setting is to display these

hymns not as a fragment of antiquity but as a timeless

expression of spiritual thought.

Certain elements of the composition deliberately evoke

associations with early culture and music. These compo-

nents, however, are transformed or merged with musical

characteristics of other eras, idioms, and purposes thus

representing a conceptual and stylistic "bridge" between

past, present, and future.

History

The Sumerians were a non-Semitic, non-Indo-European

people who flourished in southern Babylonia from the

beginning of the fourth to the end of the third millenium

B.C. During this long stretch of time the Sumerians, whose

racial and linguistic affiliations are still unclassifiable,

constituted the dominant cultural group of the entire Near

East. This cultural dominance manifested itself in three

main areas of impact.

1. The Sumerians created the cuneiform system of

writing which was adopted by nearly all the peoples of the

Near East and without which the cultural progress of

western Asia would have been largely impossible.

2. The Sumerians developed religious and spiritual

concepts that profoundly influenced all the peoples of the

Near East, including the Hebrews and the Greeks.

Moreover, by way of Judaism, Christianity, and

Mohammedanism, many of these spiritual and religious

concepts have permeated the modern civilized world.

3. The Sumerians produced a vast and highly developed

literature, largely poetic in character, consisting of

epics and myths, hymns and lamentations, proverbs and

"words of wisdom." These compositions are inscribed in

cuneiform script on clay tablets which date largely from

approximately 2000 B.C. 1 In the course of the past

hundred years, thousands of these literary pieces have

been excavated, although an even greater number may remain

yet undiscovered. As literary products, these Sumerian

compositions rank high among the creations of civilized

man. Unique and extraordinary in their significance, the

clay tablets of Sumer comprise the earliest written

literature ever uncovered.

Although the majority of inscribed tablets now

available were excavated almost half a century ago, the

translation, interpretation, and dissemination of Sumerian

literature has made slower progress than its importance

would seem to merit. Linguistic and archeological

obstacles are the reason. Deciphering the grammar and

vocabulary of the Sumerian language (it is unlike any

other known language, lIiving or dead) has chal lenged

scholars and translators. Physical characteristics of the

source material (the ancient unbaked clay tablets are

often found in fragments) are also responsible for textual

difficulties. These artifacts however, hold a place of

unquestionable importance in the history of civilization;

the continuing restoration of Sumerian literature is

certain to enrich the humanities with one of the most

magnificent groups of documents ever brought to light.

Text

I n choosing the text of Hymns to I anna for mus i cal

treatment, I have considered both the philosophical

content of the literature and the fact that many other

religious concepts and writings, contemporary as well as

historical, are rooted in Sumerian theological thought.

Multiplying the value of this literature's seminal

qual ities is the fact that it has come down to us as

actual ly written by the scribes of four thousand years

ago. Unlike most religious texts, the liturgical poetry

of Sumer's clay tablets is an original expression,

unmodified, unmodified, unedited, and unscathed by

scholarly prejudices with diverse motives and ideologies

to satisfy. 2

Religions are, by definition, created by the

people--not the gods--that they serve. Throughout the

mil l enia of recorded ci vi ization, a diversity of

re 1 i g ions has evol1 ved, each refi ect i ng the deep i nner

beliefs of its collective makers.

The farthest reaches of cultural documentation lead

to the ancient Sumerian civilization, where cuneiform

writing was first invented and the oldest written

literature created.

It was in Sumer that the first great urban

centers came into being, and it was in these

cities that the cuneiform system of writing was

developed through the centuries, to spread overthe ancient Near East.

...Sumerian ideas, techniques, and

achievements in the areas of religion, education,

literature, and law left a deep impression on theirneighbors, and to some extent even on the culture ofmodern Western man. In more than one respect, Sumer

may justifiably be designated the "cradle ofcivilization."

Numerous parel lels between this progressive culture

and our own can be drawn. Their religion, however, shows

the influence of a divine figurehead that contemporary

theology lacks.

Female deities were worshipped and adored al lthrough Sumerian history....but the goddess who

outweighed, overshadowed, and outlasted themal 1 was a deity known to the Sumerians by thename of manna, "Queen of Heaven," and to theSemites who lived in Sumer by the name of Ishtar.Inanna played a greater role in myth, epic1 andhymn than any other deity, male or female.

The goddess Inanna is uniquely significant because

un i ke deities such as Juno or Hathor or Athena or V irgin

Mary, she does not represent a smai I s1 ice of 1 ife, a

special sized realm of divinity. She is all of life: the

glorious and the fearsome, the chi id and the warrior, the

eternity and the now.

In Sumerian, Imanna's name means Iliteral ly"Queen of Heaven," and she was cal l ed both theFirst Daughter of the Moon and the Morning and

Evening Star (the planet Venus). In addition,in Sumerian mythology, she was known as the

Queen of Heaven and Earth and was responsiblefor the growth of plants and animals and fertilityin humankind. Then, because of her journey to

the underworld, she took on the powers andmysteries of death and rebirth, emerging not

only as a sky or moon goddess, but as the goddesswho rules over the sky, the earth, and theunderworld. Here was the goddess in al I heraspects....

Like many scholars, archeologists, anthropologists,

and philosophers who have dedicated years of creative re-

search toward greater knowledge of Inanna and her people,

I am inspired by her limitless persona.

manna was celebrated and glorified not only in

epic and myth, but also in a vast hymnal repertoireconsisting of a varied assortment of psalms, lyrics,

and chants as well as numerous dirges and threnodies..... In these hymnal compositions, as in the epics

and myths, the goddess emerges as a complex, many-sided personal ity embodying contragting attitudesand contradictory characteristics.

The seven hymns known as the Iddin-Dagan Hymns

(named for King I dd i n-Dagan who reigned around 1900 B.C.)

are attempts by the Sumerian temple poet to reveal

manna's glory and come close to, as well as to attract,

the Goddess of Love, so that she wi l descend once again

from heaven to earth.

The second hymn (Loud Thundering Storm) relates to

the month 1 y worsh i p of I nanna by the gods and peop 1 e of

Sumer. This description of manna's raging, stormy

aspects completes the multi-faceted view that the

Sumerian poets present of their passionate, fructifying,

yet terrifying and unfathomable Goddess.7

The hymns to manna acknowledge her myriad

achievements and aspects. She is radiant, thundering,destructive, defiant, judgemental, kind, generous,

peaceful, heal i ng, erotic, decisive, discerning,wise, transcendent, lov ing, fertile, joyous, andever youthful. But the fullness of manna's being

goes beyond these separate aspects. manna is

the Goddess of Love. Formed from all of life, theGoddess of Love gives forth desire that generatesthe energy of the universe

The first hymn to Inanna, "The Holy Priestess of

Heaven," is a greeting. Her radiance and light are

welcomed from afar. As the daughter of the moon god, she

belongs to the sky deities, who are worshipped for their

tremendous power, conciousness, majesty, and transcendence.

The second hymn to Inanna changes the perspective of

the worshipper from that of a distant bystander to that of

a "captured" participant. By means of a monthly ritual,

the people of Sumer are raised into a relationship with

their goddess.

In the first twelve lines of "Loud Thundering Storm,"

all that is mysterious, awesome, and beyond human control

or knowledge--both in the external world of the raging

storm and in the internal world of the emotions of the

heart--is likened to the persona of Inanna.

The fifty lines that connect the passionate,

destructive Inanna to the magnanimous, all-knowing Inanna

are not intact. Yet both in heaven and on earth, dark and

frightening moments are followed by calm and order. The end

of chaos and the reestablishment of order were symbolized

for the people of Sumer by the point in the lunar cycle

when "the crescent moon reaches its fullness."

Inanna then assumes her destined role and empowers the

holy form of existence; her spiritual force moves from the

wild and unpredictable "heart" to the all-knowing and all-

vii

Page 12: TO INANNA THESIS/67531/metadc...mysteries of death and rebirth, emerging not only as a sky or moon goddess, but as the goddess who rules over the sky, the earth, and the ... heart--is

seeing "eye." So, too, the animals, people, and gods who

are governed by their uncontrollable instincts go before

their queen in order to discover their own form and

destiny. What they discover is the experience of being

linked to the "eye" or inner light of their goddess. The

incredible energy of the storming goddess, now brought into

the social order, emanates with such luminosity and

intensity that the people are captured and lifted into a

state of "greater light."

The final hymn, "Joy of Sumer," is the culmination of

the seasonal, monthly, and daily ties created between

Inanna and Sumer. She descends from heaven and enters into

direct union with the people of Sumer through their earthly

king.

Inanna's descent is needed to set in motion the

annual cycle of life on earth. The mystery of human life,

connected to the mystery of natural life, dwells with the

Goddess of Love. manna's cosmic light, which shines from

the heavens all year, this day appears on earth. Male and

female, heaven and earth, mortal and divine have united

and a new year has begun. The spirit of love has descended

and is reborn on earth.

Hymns to Sumerian deities and kings may have been

created for dedications of new temples or statues or for

festivals involving public processions. The last hymn in

the group, "Joy of Sumer" was clearly recited to celebrate

King Iddin-Dagan's divine reunion with the goddess Inanna

in the traditional religious ritual. 9

Dedicated scholarly efforts have provided a substantial

body of deciphered, translated works from the original

Sumerian, many of them focusing on the goddess Inanna.

Since part ofmy goal in composing this musical work is

to advance public appreciation of these early religious

and philosophical ideals, I searched among all available

writings to find easily understood emotions and verbal

images--poems that could carry meaning to a contemporary

person without special education in ancient history. The

triptych that I chose from the Iddin-Dagan hymns expresses

the most enduring, universal themes. Add i t i opa l ly, as a

group they complement each other in fully presenting the

diverse facets of the goddess and her relationship with

the Sumerian people.

poetry. The overall form of the movements Is derived

from the structure of the text. Elements of form within

the movements al so relate to the written and impli ed

content of the hymns.

In the laudatory first movement, "The Holy Priestess

of Heaven," choral presentation of the text is the

dominant feature. There are brief instrumental

interludes as wel 1 as instrumental /vocal exchanges, some

being imitative in quality.

The "Hail! to manna..." refrain is presented with

identical rhythmic values and similar harmonizations at

eacch occurrence of the phrase. These words capsul ize

the message of the entire hymn; their reinforcement

creates a foundation and a recurring summary.

The music does not, however, culminate with the

broad strokes of this refrain at the end of the movement.

It goes one step further: Instead of concluding with

more loud declamations of glory, the music moves into a

serene chorale that symbolizes the divine wonderment and

praise of the worshipping heart.

"Loud Thundering Storm" is loosely programmatic and

makes prominent use of taped computer music elements and

instrumental forces to accompany the choir.

The fact that a section of text is missing from the

original clay tablet introduces an opportunity, not a

xi

Page 17: TO INANNA THESIS/67531/metadc...mysteries of death and rebirth, emerging not only as a sky or moon goddess, but as the goddess who rules over the sky, the earth, and the ... heart--is

problem. Within this movement the transition from stormy

chaos to peaceful order is accomplished strictly by musical

means, not through verbal explanation. The archeologist's

misfortune is the composer's creative challenge.

The music of the final movement, "Joy of Sumer," is

rooted to a scintillating ostinato in the taped computer

music part of the orchestration. Contrapuntal layers of

choir, flutes, harp, and percussion float over the

repeating, shifting rhythms of the ostinato.

The movement begins with tape alone. After the first

modulation is completed in the computer music solo, canonic

phrases in longer rhythmic values enter over the ostinato.

The second modulation raises the overall pitch by another

semitone and is colored by various combinations of tape

with acoustic instruments. The concluding section of "Joy

of Sumer," uses textural density and rhythmic complexity to

heighten the musical intensity as it approaches the final

cadence.

Orchestration

The elegant, image-filled poetry of Hymns to manna

makes its own music. Rhythm is uniquely ingrained in the

Sumerian language, and even the English translation retains

harmonies and cadences of poetic thought. It seems natural

that these words be joined with the music of instruments

and singing voices, as indeed they were in ancient Sumer.

Artifacts and literary sources document the use of

many different instruments, particularly strings and

percussion.

The sacred nature of these musical instruments is

suggested by texts which relate that offerings were

brought to lyres as to statues of the gods.

Harps, lyres, tambourines, kettledrums, reed pipes,

double-reed pipes, assorted aerophones, and a wide variety

of drums are all specifically mentioned in written

materials. Especially fascinating are illustrations of

musicians in ancient art. Pictures, relief carvings,

plaques, statues, and the uniquely characteristic "cylinder

seals" created by ancient Sumerians provide insights and

information about ancient art and music.

Music, both instrumental and vocal, played a

great role in Sumerian life, and some of the

musicians became important figures in temple

and court. Beautifully constructed harps and

lyres have been excavated in the royal tombs

of Ur. Percussion instruments such as the

drum and tambourine were quite common, as were

pipes of both reed and metal. Poetry and song

flourished in the Sumerian schools. Although

virtually all the recovered texts are hymns to

gods and kings, there is little doubt that

music, song, and dance were a major source of

entertainment both at home and in the market-place.

Bow harps feature tuned strings attached to a curved

bow on one end and inserted into a boxlike resonator at the

Page 19: TO INANNA THESIS/67531/metadc...mysteries of death and rebirth, emerging not only as a sky or moon goddess, but as the goddess who rules over the sky, the earth, and the ... heart--is

other end. Bow harps appeared in Egypt and Sumer at least

five thousand years ago and various forms of them are still

used in some parts of the world.1 1

There is a special Sumerian hymnal genre known as

"balag." The word "balag" probably means "harp," and it

may be assumed that the balag chants were accompanied by

that musical instrument.12

Box lyres, like early harps, date back at least five

thousand years, and examples encrusted with gold or silver

and precious stones have been found in diggings at the

royal cemetery at Ur. 3

Of the three catagories of Sumero-Babylonia

instruments--percussion, winds, and strings--the strings

are traditionally associated with potency and with the

cult that is played before the goddess manna and the

king. The harp's sound is said "to drown out the southern

storm," providing us with some idea of the loudness of the

music it produced. Other texts liken the sound of a

stringed instrument, perhaps a lyre, to the thunder of the

Storm God. Bulls--the animal symbol of storm and

fertility gods--are carved into the soundboxes of lyres

excavated at the Royal Cemetery at Ur. The bull thus

seemingly emits the thunderous sound of this stringed

instrument.14

Al lusions to the tautness of the strings of

instruments such as lyres are found in Sumerian and

Akkadian love charms to ensure potency.15

The art of drum making and playing was obviously

highly developed and specialized. The tigi-, lil is-, and

sem- drums and the ub-, meze-, and ala- tambourines are

among the instruments whose names and importance are

known to us from their many mentions in ancient

1 iterature, but whose exact decriptions and playing

techniques are uncertain.

In Sumerian sacred art, tambourines are usual ly held

by nude female figures and, in one instance, on a

cylinder seal from Marl, by the goddess Ishtar/Inanna.

Accordingly, the instrument is associated with sexual

love, and with seduction, and perhaps with the cult of

the goddess.1 6

ruins of Ur (2000 B.C.); simi lar drums, oftenassociated with rattling jangles attached, are

played to this day in the Middle East, where they

are still associated with the singing and dancingof women. ...this instrument migrated to Europe

(along with many others from the Middle East) where

it became known as the tambourine, and where--nearlyfour thousand years after Ur--it is played by thewomen of gypsy ensembles and Salvation Army bands!

17

The ancient Egyptian and biblical sistrum (it dates

from at l east 2500 B.C.) is used to this day by the

congregration and priests of the Ethiopian Coptic Church

to praise the Lord in services and sound.18

Although specific musical performance instructions

are not notated in the original text of Hymns to Inanna,

the playing of string instruments and drums are described

in some of the col election's hymns. It seems likely that

the antiphons or refrains that occur in this composition

would have been accompanied by one or several instruments. 19

This work, therefore, combines the oldest types of

instruments (drums, harp, flutes, etc.) with the most

modern (digital) and symbolizes the musical pulse of

manna spanning the centuries.

in every possible combination. The tape is co-ordinated

with choir and instruments by time markings and sound cues

notated in the score.

The voices of the choir are employed in both traditional

and contemporary writing styles. Ancient literary sources

make frequent mention of song, chant, and recitation (which

may include instrumental accompaniment.) Scholars have also

concluded that antiphony was common, although exact styles

and applications are yet to be ascertained.

"The early second-millenium poem called The Exaltation

of Inanna has choruses, probably to be sung anti-

phonal ly...."20

My setting of Hymns To anna uses some elements of

chant and antiphony in the second movement, "Loud Thunder-

ing Storm." It begins with a liturgical call and response.

The turbulent, storming section which then unfolds employs

some samples of antiphonal psalmody (split phrases or

alternating verses). In the setting of "Your deafening

command, whistling like the South Wind, splits apart great

mountains," (p. 60-61) the phrase moves from full choir, to

soprano soloist, back to full chorus. At the end of the

storm, the phrase "Holy Priestess, who can soothe your

troubled heart..." is repeated responsorially.

several chanted and sung phrases presented in a

In the first movement, The Holy Priestess of Heaven,

there are many examples of two other traditional

compositional techniques, chorale and counterpoint.

Imitative textures [Example: "To the Holy Priestess..."

These textures are not always strictly traditional,

however. Contrary contrapuntal motion is freely shifted

into parallel motion using intervals such as 4ths, 5ths,

or 7ths. (Example: p. 23, mm.#86-88)

In "Joy of Sumer" the canonic entrance of women's

voices and flutes (PP. 97-100, mm.#38-45) confirms

musical ly a sense of grace and balance. The section

immediately fol lowing (pp. 100-102, mm.#46-53) typifies

strict tonal imitation at regular intervals of time

displacement. I-Sops"R o fF

The next phrase (pp. 103-104, mm.#54- 5 7 ) employs a

combination of contrapuntal devices: species counter-

point in longer durational values, strict imitation, and

derivative counter-melody. A contrasting effect is created

by the chanted unison (at the octave) that fol lows.

The conclusion of "Joy of Sumer" is a more complex

contrapuntal vocal arrangement overlaid with rich

instrumental textures. Complete melodic phrases as wel 1

as small ler motives are imitated, altered, and exchanged.

The increasing thickness and complexity of the choral and

instrumental patterns heightens intensity toward

conclusion: a sudden alignment of pitch and rhythm

(symbol izing transcendental unity) cadencing over

brilliant streams of sound from the computer music tape.

Hymns To manna incorporates composite timbres

involving the highlighting of acoustic timbres through

comp l ementary programming of computer generated t i mbres.

The taped part of the instrumentation is used in a

different way within each of the three movements.

In the first, it preceeds the acoustic forces. It is

a ringing primal pulse, a call to worship, an awakening of

consciousness.

The tape part of "Loud Thundering Storm" plays many

roles. Wild, uncontrollable, powerful forces of nature and

emotion are represented sonically. The juxtaposition of

the live choir, chanting and singing, against the thick,

wailing glissandos of a "synthetic choir" create an

interesting drama and a form of textural counterpoint.

Contrasting the second movement's thick layers of

sound is the pristine tape ostinato in "Joy of Sumer." The

pattern is expressed in traditional notation, and there is

a further difference in its use as the musical foundation for

the movement as a whole.

Instrumental forces are used soloistically and

sectionally, as well as providing accompaniment to choir

and vocal solo material.

This work explores coloristic aspects of percussion

instruments in addition to their rhythmic significance.

Rhythmic motives are present in all components of the

ensemble, providing a unifying force.

Tonal Organization

In Sumerian music, development can be traced from a

pentatonic scale to a later heptatonic scale.2 1

Hymns to Inanna uses these prototypes of tonal

organization as wel 1 as the expanded vocabulary of

contemporary mus i c.

Pitch materials for choir and instruments include a

wide variety of structures: Pentatonic, diatonic, non-

tonal, and quartal elements are used freely to suit the

changing character of the text.

The computer-generated music incorporates a variety

of techniques: Realization of tonal music representable

in standard notation; computer programmed elements that

imitate sounds of nature or are similar to known acoustic

instruments; app 1 i cation of "random- va lue" and quasi -

random functions; and combinations and/or variations on

the above methods.

Performance Cons iderat i ons

The integration of tape with acoustic forces presents

both logistical and musical chal lenges. Coordinating the

21Duchesne-Gui 11emin, Marcel 1 e. "Appendix: Notecomplementaire sur la decouverte de Ia gamme babylonienne,"Studies in Honor of Benno Landsberaer (Assyr io l og i calStudies 16), (Chicago, 1965), pp. 268-72.

Page 27: TO INANNA THESIS/67531/metadc...mysteries of death and rebirth, emerging not only as a sky or moon goddess, but as the goddess who rules over the sky, the earth, and the ... heart--is

elements in a practical, dependable manner is critical

for success in performance.

Composers have approached this problem with a

variety of possible solutions. Some of these precedents,

however, would be difficult with the large ensemble

required by Hymns to I anna; others seem to overlook the

musical sensibilities of l i ve performers. In my scoring,

the different ways that the tape i s used in each movement

determine multiple answers to the same question.

In the first movement, performers fol low the tape

without the need for subsequent cues.

"Loud Thundering Storm" uses the tape as an ever-

changing sonic environment. The piece moves forward by

means of logical, wel 1-spaced sound cues that have a

reasonable amount of inherent flexibility in coordinating

with performers' responses. Detai led information about

cue intervals and characteristics is notated in the

score.

The final movement maintains the constant,

repetitive tempo of the computer music. The tape part is

completely notated and can be integrated through

traditional musical means.

Other performance considerations include: careful

text placement in the choral setting to provide logical

metric stress and melodic contour in words and phrases,

and practical, idiomatic scoring for instruments.

Conclusion

The emotional and spiritual impact of any piece of

music is exclusively a personal experience on the part of

the listener. It cannot be judged objectively.

Musical appropriateness in the setting of a text or

the scoring of instruments and voices, however, can be

critically discussed with objective, as well as aesthetic,

criteria.

Is the mood of the music harmonious with the content

of the text? Is the structure logical? Are the abilities

of the ensemble used to good advantage? Is the work

coherent in form? Individual tastes and preferences

understandably account for personal responses to music, yet

there are many questions that can aid in evaluating the

degree to which a piece of music meets its own intended

goal s.

Any compositional method employed in writing music--

from functional harmony to serialism, indeterminacy, or

computer-assisted composition--implies a superstructure

of subjective choices. The fulcrum of decision is the ear

of the composer.

I believe it is important for music to offer

satisfaction and meaning to performers because they seek to

xxiii

Page 29: TO INANNA THESIS/67531/metadc...mysteries of death and rebirth, emerging not only as a sky or moon goddess, but as the goddess who rules over the sky, the earth, and the ... heart--is

express their own hearts through it. They create the

living sounds of musical communication.

Music does not fully exist until it is realized in

performance. The notated score is a representation of

music in a form apart from itself: it is a set of

instructions, a recipe for the actualization of music.

There is unquestionable artistry in the judicious,

creative skill of musical notation. There can be pure

genius in the alchemy of composition.

But it is the real vibrations of music, its physical

textures, sonorities, and rhythms, that connect earthly ears

to abstract illuminations.

In Sumerian, the word for ear and wisdom is

the same. The ear, which is located mostly

internally and is coiled like a spiral

or labyrinth, takes in sounds and begins g

transform the imperceptible into meaning.

Additional Instructions

Tape Coordination:The tape part is supplied as a stereo reel-to-reel

recording. The first section of tape is a test tone at 0 dB

for setting levels in rehearsal."STOP" and "START" cues (there is one tape segment in

each movement) are notated in the score. Col ored leader

tape is spliced between each tape segment to mark the

endings of the segments and to facilitate cueing. After

stopping when a tape section has been played, cue up the

next movement's tape segment by advancing to the end of the

intervening leader tape.

In the middle of the second movement, Loud Thunder ing

Storm, sounds from the tape serve as coordination cues to

the conductor and the performers. This part of the score is

largely non-metric; boxed numbers (which are measure numbersin al1 the rest of the score) are used in this section as

cue numbers. Dark arrows under the cue numbers indicate

cues that must be given by the conductor (pointing down) and

sound cues (pointing up) from tape or instruments. Dotted

lines also provide coordination references.Two forms of time notation are included to facilitate

ensemble/tape coordination. Total elapsed time appears at

the bottom next to the tape notation section of the score.

At the top, approximate time (in seconds) between cues is

shown next to the boxed cue numbers.

I = lowest possible pitch

Pitch clusters indicate approximate pitches.

pp. 81 - 82: Choir enters immediately when the tape "choir"

begins to fade.

Notations ("Tenor," etc.) given with vocal solos suggest

possibi l it ies, not l imitations. Strong, expressive singers

are desirable, regardless of part classification.

To minimize visual clutter, rests are omitted in some

particular instances.Percussion: Lines or staves where no notes are
