dharmachakramudra (2010) (Premiere 6​/​16​/​11 in La Jolla by Mark Menzies, viola, Franklin Cox, cello, Morris Palter, vibraphone)

about

dharmachakramudra refers to the situation of the Buddha immediately after reaching enlightenment. This piece is relatively short, scored for vibraphone, viola and cello, and is very static and quiet. After seeing a series of representations of dharmachakra mudra at the British Museum, I thought the term would work well as the title of a piece. The first six two-note chords form a complete 12-tone series, but the work is not 12-tone in nature.

This recording is of the live premiere at the soundON Festival of Modern Music that took place at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library in La Jolla, California on 6/16/11. The performers were from the San Diego New Music/NOISE Ensemble: Mark Menzies, viola, Franklin Cox, cello, Morris Palter, vibraphone. The recording engineer was the late Nathan Brock.
