(Session A)

"Τελεῖσθαι: Contemporary Music as Ritual Practice"
Presented by Dr. Randall Hall (Music)

Description: In this session, Augustana Professor of Music Randall Hall performs some of his recent music, including his piece Τελεῖσθαι, as an example of his work creating contemporary theurgic music. Drawing on sources ranging from Neoplatonic philosophy to the work of Vedic scholar Fritz Staal, Hall identifies ritual principles that can be translated into musical structures. By embedding these ritual — or theurgic — elements into contemporary music for saxophone and electronics, the performance is elevated to a ritual act.
