Rituals – Rituals

Rituals is multi layered ceremonial music for 6-50 saxophones.

Rituals is the intuitive and physical sound of West African music juxtaposed with the complex structures of American Post-Minimalism and European Classical music.

Wailing drones, gradual development of rhythmic complexity and pentatonic scales form the basic building blocks of the music. Each piece explores a singular musical idea, technique or form as a way to construct a diverse yet cohesive narrative where the transformation of sound through the multiplication of a single acoustic source/instrument type is the primary focus.
