Rodney Sharman - Incantation

Noah Eastman, bassoon solo
Hannah Kim and Erica Lin, violin
Keon Sagara, viola
Alfred Western, cello
Sunshine Quan, harp
Andrew Kim, conductor
"The piece consists of chants and refrains, almost every note in the quartet and harp part is doubled at the twelfth, an overtone of the harmonic series. The bassoonist is sometimes asked to create a tone rich in harmonics, imitating the sound of Buddhist Tibetan Chant, creating a rich, enveloping sound, enhanced by the quartet and harp parts." -Rodney Sharman
