Product Description


After a false intro (a la New Order's Round & Round '94), the audience is hit with a bold, syncopated dance riff played in octave unison followed by a driving, ascending melody that serves as the refrain for this Rondo. This alternates with themes and motifs recycled from the chorus of "Almond Eyes" by Motoya (written by the same composer), along with original cello solos in the style of Peter Hook's bass guitar from New Order Perpetual 16th notes in the 1st violin represent the hihats frequently used in new-wave dance music. The final chorus segues into a coda section in which the the first violin part becomes more and more frenetic and the tempo continues to accelerate, until we arrive at an epic ending featuring one last cello solo.

Duration: 07:50

The audio recording features Mike Hsu (violin 1), Chris Fotinakis (violin 2), Mike Goffe (viola), Forrest Aubel (cello 1), and Nikki Graybeal (cello 2).
