“Bridge between Worlds” is scored for full orchestra, piano and solo ‘cello.The work consists of nine individual pieces and is fifty minutes in length. Featured within the music are Emily's own field recordings of traditional songs and chants of the Xavante tribe of Brazil.
The primordial chants of the Xavante Indians blended within “Bridge between Worlds” are recreational and ritualistic events which Emily witnessed and recorded when she was guest in a Xavante village. In composing this music Emily has drawn from these memories. The event which was originally associated with the Xavante song has dictated the mood and tempo of each individual piece.
“Bridge between Worlds” is a powerful sonic juxtaposition of cultures. The fluid tapestry of strings and wind instruments have both enhanced and expanded the sense of musical contrast with the deeply rooted ancestral chant of the Xavante.
“Bridge between Worlds” is an emotive response by the composer and ‘cellist Emily Burridge as she celebrates and shares through this production her extraordinary experience of living amongst the Xavante tribe.
