£53.50Particles - Michael Sweeney
This unusual work portrays the transformation of matter from solid to liquid and ultimately to gas. You'll hear a single musical theme transformed throughout, starting with a very rigid and dense opening statement. From there thetheme is treated in a lyrical style (liquid), and finally the pace becomes frantic and energetic as the melodic particles transform into gas. Using unique scoring techniques (including a few aleatoric sections and dramaticpercussion effects) this descriptive work will stir the imagination of players and audience alike. Dur: 5:30
