Boosey and Hawkes Flying Colours (CME Opera Workshop) Any Combination composed by Stephen Hatfield

This dramatic work is a masque where movement and music create a parallel reality in which the world is both recognizable and yet transformed. In this setting four tribes each see themselves as the center of the world, not recognizing the physical interdependence of the mountains, valleys, ocean and sky for which the tribes are named. For any combination of voices, percussion played by the singers (staffs, kalimbas, drums, vibraslaps, rainsticks, cowbells, finger cymbals), and staged movement. Duration: ca. 18:00.
