This exciting work by Ed Huckeby is based on the concept of sevens. After a bold and dramatic introduction in 7/4, an alternating series of 2+2+3 and 3+2+2 rhythmic ostinati provides a foundation for invigorating syncopated melodic lines, interspersed with a series of changing meter and contrasting moods. Septagon provides a wonderful opportunity for the exploration of changing and mixed meter, which will leave your students and audience wanting more. A great choice for your next competition or concert!
