Its central groove in 7\/4 has a cyclical, spinning quality while the changes between major and minor tonalities provide a musical metaphor for our life cycle as humans.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWritten for six keyboard players, drumset, and bass guitar (or MalletStation, synthesizer, etc.), it also includes a conga part and two additional percussion parts for added groove and color. The parts are nuanced and clearly represented on the page, with a section in the middle left open for one or more players to improvise solos over.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece ships as a fully bound score or as an instant PDF download for printing or tablet viewing.
