About this arrangement

SKU: PR.415411580 For Wind Ensemble. Composed by Narong Prangcharoen. Full score. 42 pages. Duration 14 minutes. Theodore Presser Company #415-41158. Published by Theodore Presser Company (PR.415411580). UPC: 680160666133.Lokuttara means Ultramundane. It is the power that enables the mind to transcend beyond the world, or beyond the limits of our system. This piece is mainly focusing on the texture and timbre inspired by chanting or praying. For example, the texture of this piece is imitating the rhythm of speech or the singing of words or sounds, called reciting tones, as in a chant or a prayer. The timbre enlightens the listener to the sound and atmosphere beyond the material world, echoing the transcendence of Tibetan monk chants. The direction of the lines are mainly focused on the departure from a low register to a high register as if the mind transcends from the fiscal world to the the world beyond our system. The thematic and harmonic material are controlled by the set of pitches which function as the main material for the entire piece. Lokuttara consists of three main sections divided fast--slow--fast. Although the material is from the same pitch collection, the music in each section transforms into many different forms. Lokuttara is graciously commissioned by the Barlow Endowment for Music Composition at Brigham Young University for the United States Marine Band, Brigham Young University's Wind Symphony and Florida State University's Wind Orchestra as the Endowment's performing consortium who will premiere the work in 2015.
