The work consists primarily of two types of music: a bombastic tutti and a stark ostinato that consists entirely of 8th notes. Through the course of the piece, the central materials continuously evolve, sometimes breaking down and seeping into one another, at other times following their own respective trajectories. By the end, the central materials have completely melded together, having achieved a sense of closure.application/pdfengCopyright is held by the author, unless otherwise indicated.
