KATRATERRA
Written for nine
players, Katraterra is a concert piece which
uses a variety of textures, instruments, and techniques to create
a driving and intense feel. The 5/8 time signature dominates the
groove of Katraterra with three emphasized beats of 1,
3, and the upbeat of 4, creating the motive which drives the 16-note
based ostinato and all surrounding melodies. This weaves in and
out of other time signatures, but is intended to happen smoothly
without obvious perception to when these changes occur. This,
along with the inherent syncopations throughout, creates a challenging
ensemble atmosphere. With driving solo statements, complex interwoven
rhythms, and an organic ostinato to drive it, this piece is sure
to offer an intense and entertaining musical experience.
Katraterra
comes with a full, bound score and includes all individual parts
available for printing on an included CD-Rom.
