Elemental
About the Work
Elemental is rooted in the four ancient Elements – Earth, Water, Wind and Fire. Each musician assumes the role of an Element. Water players provide flowing melody, Earth players produce solid harmony, Fire players give us flickering rhythms, and Wind players shape the whole by whipping up or calming down tempo and dynamics. Each composer realized these ideas with a different biome in mind – desert (Begay), chaparral (Paul), or forest (Wiprud). The three biomes can be played in any order.
