Poke, for large mixed ensemble by Yfat Soul Zisso published on 2014-03-05T12:06:41Z Based around two fundamental pitches a tone apart and both of their harmonic series, 'Poke' explores how a calm and peaceful material is forced to defend itself and eventually attack back after being repeatedly prodded and attacked for a long period of time. The calm material tries to ignore the attacks, even curling up into a metaphorical ball in an attempt to ignore them, but as they persist it eventually has no other choice but to go into battle to defend itself. Workshop recording by BCMG, cond. by Chris Austin. Genre Contemporary Classical
