Notes
| Programme notes |
Rituals I: no liner notes
Rituals II is a short piece where fragile mechanisms are set in motion and then broken off just after involving the full ensemble. The little miniature is cut off from its potential future, leaving behind the accumulated energy of its sudden outbursts.
|
| Additional notes |
The movements in Rituals I (19 musicians) & Rituals II (8 musicians) can both be played independently or together.
Mp3 is from a concert with Oslo Sinfonietta/Peter Szilvay, Lindemannsalen
