Description

Duration: 5'30"

Percussion Sextet

Written by Michael J. Calamas in 2021 for the University of South Carolina, and premiered at PASIC in Indianapolis on November 13th, 2021.

ÆTHER 6 consists of five major sections that can be characterized by their density. These layers may be the ascension and descension through the regions of space as it would have been perceived in ancient, medieval science practice.

Each layer has its own human energy. There are moments of great excitement and joy, moments of intensity and anger, of wonder, and sometimes of unresolved loneliness.

The textures and varying densities are beautifully orchestrated and vibrantly come to life in the hall.

Instrumentation:

  • Marimba 1
  • Marimba 2
  • Vibraphone 1 (suspended cymbal)
  • Vibraphone 2
  • Percussion1: Crotales, Cymbal, Earth Plate, Darbuka, Toms x4, Bass Drum
  • Percussion 2: Cymbal, Bongos, Congas, Bass Drum.
