Sangat: Musica Senza Confini

2016

Co-Composed with Nafees Ahmad

“Musica Senza Confini” is a co-composed work written by international sitarist Nafees Ahmed and composer Chris Ozley. It is broadly based in Kalyan Thaat—a raga featured in South Indian weddings—which is essentially equivalent to the Lydian mode in Western music. Between each section of music, the melodic mode, meter, and tempo tends to fluxuate frequently. Originally, the piece existed without Western harmony; Chris provided full harmonic realizations as well as orchestrations for the ensemble “Sangat.” The work was premiered in at UT Austin’s Jessen Recital Hall in November of 2015; additionally, it has received numerous performances in Karachi, Pakistan—notably at the National Academy of Performing Arts
