Music written on a ‘wind instrument’ that did not get used in the performance. Seems wrong.

It also doubles as a percussion instrument

Since I can’t sleep I dug into up a bit who transcribed the painting into sheet music. A music student at Oklahoma Christian University named Amelia Hamrick did the hard work.
She admits there are some errors but has deleted the related posts after the topic became really popular.

I, for one, welcome the newest song from our blessed overlord, Bjork. Long may she reign with her beautiful, if confusing, butt music.
RA-men.

This is the original source of the musical arrangement in the BB post (and is linked in Amelia’s Tumble post above)

If any song was going to include the brown note, this one would be most appropriate.
