Plane of Existence - for percussion ensemble

Carson Chlup

Plane of Existence by Carson Chlup is a work for nine percussionists that represents, in the words of the composer, “the space between life and death.” The piece requires a high level of ensemble communication, listening, and balance as it proceeds through varying sonic landscapes — from ethereal bowed passages to driving rhythmic torrents — reflecting the various stages of “transition.” Plane of Existence ships as a fully bound score and includes individual parts in PDF format for either printing or tablet viewing.
