Rarely does any single publication have such an effect on band literature as this unique and striking composition from 1994. Individually, the parts are relatively simple. Yet the combined effect is sophisticated and impressive far beyond its easy level. Michael uses a wealth of contemporary devices (including tone clusters, recorders, singing, pencil tapping) to create an aura of prehistoric times. This flex edition is carefully scored for maximum playability even with low or unbalanced instrumentation. This hybrid edition contains a printed score and access to digital parts; it is a non-returnable product that cannot be supplied on Approval.
