31-Casella-Windows of the Maloca (SP)-B/2V/C/Cro./X/2-4M/4T/ P - Product Information
After returning home from the Amazon jungle of Peru, Jim Casella wrote Windows of the Maloca as a testament to the spirit of connectedness he experienced and, as he wrote, how "individual components of an ecosystem exist together as a community. No matter how small the organism, it affects some other part of the whole, even if not immediately apparent." This advanced ensemble piece for 14 players features a repeating metric framework of 7/8+7/8+7/8+6/8, which remains consistent through the piece. Casella brilliantly weaves in different textures and rhythmic motives without disrupting the flow and groove of this intricate metric framework.
This piece comes with a full, bound score and includes a CD-ROM containing an audio recording and all individual parts available for printing.
