Program note

This fabulous new work explores the use of independent lines in each part. It is based on a central rhythmic motif which is treated in a contrapuntal manner throughout the piece. Ideal for working on individual playing as well as ensemble texture. The composer's use of several layering effects adds to the excitement.
