about

This is the first extended solo piece I wrote. It would not have come about except for the suggestion in 1991 by the brilliant new jazz saxophonist Tom Guralnick that I develop some solo literature (I had previously led various ensembles but had never undertaken solo work).

After careful labor and preparation (and some fear) I premiered the first version in December of 1991. The piece soon grew over the course of early performances to its present form and approximate length.

The title comes from a term found in Quiché Mayan prayer and is one of the references to ancestors (much'ulic bak - much'ulic uleu - much'ulic poklaj).
