I very much enjoyed Shaker Loops by John Adams. This piece of music has a great range of emotion can only be achieved by the hypnotic tone found with in. I did not expect this arrangement to take me for such a ride, rather I was anticipating a very slow melodic progression without much emotion. I was wrong. This piece starts with the ripple of water but ended up running, sprinting, jumping, falling, and so much more. I especially enjoyed the 3:30 to 4:00 minute mark.
Incredible for just 3 violins, 1 viola, 2 celli, and a single contra-bass.
