This was basically an experiment to see how useful some choral samples might be for contemporary composition. They fell rather short on resources: more vowels and isolated consonants would have been useful. Even so, I decided to keep this piece, limited as it is, and perhaps use it as a launch for a larger work with full orchestra. I'd probably go over to the EW choir for something like that. The library came up as a bulk deal. I wanted the 7 soloists (they include a coloratura soprano) and the choir came with the bundle. About the score - I haven't tried to organise the percussion conventionally. It is scored. The work is unlikely to be performed live so it would be a wasted effort. The file dates are the final revisions. Any comment would be gratefully received. Many thanks if you can give it a listen.

Nicely done, and I totally support your decision not to go into contortions to preserve a strict canon all the way through. People may not be aware that most (all?) Indian classical music is about single melodic lines and doesn't use a harmonic "support" like we're used to hearing in Western music. So employing counterpoint to find the emergent harmony that comes naturally from your chosen raga is great experiment, and I'd say it succeeded!

Nice piece. I like the change to jazzy in the second part, as a contrast.

Pretty great piece. The recording and video itself is awesome as well. I had no idea those instruments could blend so well?
