La pièce s'articule autour de deux parties constrastées, tout d'abord par l'instrumentation- la 1ère mettant en avant les claviers (marimbas) et la seconde les peaux- mais également par leur caractères propres.Après une brève introduction, de laquelle émerge progressivement la pulsation, le thème s'installe au marimba, sur une pulsation irrégulière, évoquant une boîte à musique un peu ' déglinguée '.La deuxième partie, beaucoup plus ' terrienne ', d'où le titre de 'Tellurythme' est basée sur un ostinato ternaire donné d'abord au tom bass, autour duquel s'organisent les interventions des autres percussionnistes, qui, mêlant le binaire et le ternaire, les peaux et la voix, amènent une certaine ambiguïté rythmique.Après un rappel du thème de la première partie (au marimba), l'ostinato revient pour un grand crescendo final, un grand coup de gong concluant la pièce.Percussion 1 : Marimba (ou xylo), tomsPercussion 2 : Marimba, toms, cymbales suspenduePercussion 3 : Tom bass, cymbale suspendue, triangle, caisse claire, tomsPercussion 4 : Quatre timbales, cymbale suspendue, tambourinPercussion 5 : Grosse caisse, tam tam, wood blocks, cabassa / Ensemble Multipercussions (Quintette)
