The text of Mouchette is from the website www.mouchette.org, a strange and curious world created by Mouchette, a "nearly 13 year old girl" AKA Dutch Artist Martine Neddam (www.neddam.org). Vocal parts marked Spoken need not necessarily observe the exact written rhythms (go for a natural spoken rhythm). "Buzzing fly" sections are ad lib moments where players can make their best buzzing fly imitations on their instrument; fast, rhythmically irregular chromatic passages on wind instruments and fast tremolos while sliding up and down a string on string instruments would be a place to start. These parts should be heard as a soft, slightly annoying background texture. Percussion for part II plays Glockenspiel and Triangle simultaneously. Instrumentation: Flute, Clarinet, Piano, Violin, Viola, Cello, Percussion (Wood Block, Whip, Triangle and Glockenspiel).
