Thread and Pull

Thread and Pull explores concepts of restraint, constraint, and dissension. Driving rhythms move throughout the ensemble in tandem and opposition, halted by gestures of silence. The piece utilizes text from Ghazal 1419 by Jalāl al-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī (public domain). Version 1 of Thread and Pull was commissioned by Fifth House Ensemble. Version 3 was commissioned by the Louisville Orchestra.
