Performed by Percussion Group Cincinnati. "John Luther Adams is an Alaskan composer. For Adams, Alaska is not a catalog of ideas and sounds, instead, Alaska is a provocation. For all of its enormity, Alaska leans inward towards essential qualities and purified forces. In Adams' music we find this same sense of space and the same tendency inward towards the purified. His is an intimate and focused music that reverberates in a large space. Strange and Sacred Noise is a monumental work for percussion quartet in nine movements."
