{"product_id":"burritt-mag7-rhapsody-no-1","title":"Burritt-MAG7: Rhapsody No. 1 (SP)-2B\/2V\/Cro.\/2M\/P","description":"MAG7: Rhapsody No. 1 was written in the summer of 2017 and dedicated to my seven graduate students (The Magnificent Seven) who so brilliantly brought my new opus to life. The piece opens with a solo \"riff\" on marimba that serves as the seed for entire work. The rhythmic and metric development play with the quintuplet, first introduced in the opening section, as a tool for polyrhythmic hemiola and metric modulation. This is fully realized in the center of the work as the entire ensemble is playing varying layers in multiples of 5 tethered to a 5\/4 meter. Like most of my music, MAG7 is a melting pot of genres and artistic influences coalescing in a pseudo-rhapsodic form.\u003cbr\u003e-Michael J.
