The term pentacle refers to a star formed by five straight lines. This work provides five percussionistes the challenge of playing several different instruments during one work. Throughout the work performers move from instrument to instrument arriving back at their original position for the work's conclusion. This ability is necessary for the performance of contemporary percussion literature.
