Review
This is a minimalistic percussion ensemble for seven players, each with five sets of wind chimes (glass, metal, shell, wood, ceramic). Three players also use conch shells (blown). The eight-minute work is to be played at a constant p--mp dynamic level, with the sounds of the various wind chimes fading in and out with no apparent metric accentuation. The recommended physical setup calls for partial enclosure of the audience by four players, with the conch players as far behind the others as possible--the more widespread the spatial orientation the better. This work requires an understanding of the composer's intent plus a degree of individual dynamic control, and it is recommended as a contrasting "mood" piece on concerts by advanced high school or university percussion ensembles. - John Baldwin, December 1997[1]
