A Cappella,Pop. 28 pages. Andrew Montano #1087243. Published by Andrew Montano (A0.1512203). 10-Part DivisiSolo (Mezzo)SopranoAlto (small group)AltoTenor (3-Part split)BaritoneBass 1Bass 2Science/Visions can be best described as a spinning hurricane of nonstop, synthesized sequences. It takes inspiration from the Eurotrance genre, given its repetitive instrumental and beckoning, ethereal melody. Trance music is best known for this out of body experience and altered state of consciousness. However, this song forms a hybridity between the logical and the spiritual. Answering questions between what's real and what's fantasy. The mysteries of reality and the unanswered truths. This embrace of intellectual curiosity heightens the dynamic contrast, personal discovery, and encourages exploration.If the piece strikes as too difficult, you are more than welcome to substitute a slower tempo or divide ensemble sections. For example, the basses may split into two parts: one taking the pair of E naturals and the other taking the G through D natural. This was kept to save space on the page without stretching the parts too far away.Encourage the ensemble to experiment with formant, as the synthesizer's frequencies travel between forward and back.
