Prather-Thirteen for Six (SP) V/M/BD/C/P

Prather's superstition for the number thirteen found its way into a percussion sextet that is groovy, lyrical, and allows the freedom for players to express themselves through improvisation. The backbone of this 7-part Rondo is a reprise that consists of an alternating 7/8 and 6/8 pattern, forming a 13/8 phrase that just WON'T leave the listener alone.
