Program Notes

Adapted Version for Percussion Ensemble Rhythmic Adventures II: The Harmonic Sea is the second of the 6-piano series by the same name. RAII explores concepts of impressionism and minimalism, challenging tempo consistency, rhythmic accuracy, dynamic expression, and ensemble coordination as the performers aim to create a musical imagery of turbulent, deep water. Initiating with a simple repeating figure of a fifth, the harmonies grow and add more and more tension until the basic harmony of the tune is established. Then the harmony gives way to articulation and clarity in the rhythm and thus begins the journey through The Harmonic Sea. The piece after going through several changes ultimately returns to the original repeating figure and starts to wind down until all players are reduced to simple quarter notes and the music fades until disappearance.
