Munn-Tangles in the Web (SP)-1T/P

Tangles in the Web by Zar Munn for percussion sextet. The title borrows from the oft-quoted line from Sir Walter Scott: "Oh what a tangles web we weave when we first practice to deceive." Material appears, connects, recedes, realigns and re-asserts in a complex web of relationships. It was written for Keith Aleo in 1997 for performance by his student ensembles.
