Description
Strong and resolute, “Monolithic” evokes the feeling of beholding a towering stone structure through thick harmonies. Basic syncopation offers a teaching moment, and energetic percussion parts add extra fun to the piece.
Program Notes
“Monolithic” is often associated with a massive stone or rock structure. Musically, it takes on a tone of power and strength. This work challenges the young performer to emulate this feeling through thick harmonies and rhythms. Some basic syncopation is utilized to create musical interest in this setting. Paired with energetic Percussion parts, the result is almost gladiator-like in its delivery.
