Navigation etc.

Fine divided the women’s choir into four parts and chose a simple instrumentation of flute, oboe, and cello with a colorful array of percussion using ratchets, gongs, cymbals, castanets, and vibraphone. The vibraphone provides pitch support, and at one point…the voices are asked to match the vibraphone timbre. Like she did in the nightingale texts in previoius music, Fine enjoyed writing froglike text painting, using quivering figures and doubly dotted rhythms to portray the text and having the cello add percussive textures of snapped and glissandi pizzicati. Frequently the voices are doubled by the instruments, making Oda a las Ranas accessible.
