Next XAS Release: PRISM Quartet and Susie Ibarra’s Procession Along the Aciga Tree
Susie Ibarra joins PRISM Quartet for with world premiere recording of her 2018 work, “Procession Along the Aciga Tree.” In her words, “Beautiful acacia trees are commonly seen throughout the forest areas of the northern Luzon in the Philippines. One of the largest acacia trees known in the province of Kalinga is the Aciga Tree which is said to be a tree of treasures. ‘Procession, along the Aciga Tree’ is inspired by the tradition of processional music in the north of the Philippines often found weaving through the forests. This piece draws upon interlocking rhythms, shifting melodies, pulses and cross rhythms. It imagines a sonic procession amidst the Acacia to the Aciga tree.”
