This exciting festival work fuses elements of antiphonal music with contemporary rhythms and harmonies. After a lively introduction, melody is passed throughout the ensemble in call-and-response fashion. As the work develops, countermelodies begin to spin off until the powerful opening statement returns once more to bring the work to a dynamic close.
