The sounds of ancient Mexico come alive in this thrilling work with powerful percussion writing to tell the story of this Mayan city at the peak of its power. Following a chaotic opening, the piece weaves artfully through a series of cascading bell-tone passages with clashing harmonies. An ideal way to introduce students to mild dissonance in an intense and epic work!
