TRiBE

Each movement depicts a different mood, musical style, or aspect of a tribal ceremony, all cohering into one continuous ritual. The first movement, Premonition, scored entirely for non-pitched percussion instruments, is an exciting, upbeat, and aggressive opening statement. The second movement, Meditation, offsets the first as a slow, dark, and introspective work. The third movement, Rite of Passage, suggests a long and steady procession. In the final movement, Sacrifice, the music is highly focused and martial, creating an exciting finish to a varied experience.
