Score and Parts

A mandala is a circular symbol that appears universally in the consciousness of humanity.  Like the mandalas created by the Tibetan monks, this piece represents a psychological and spiritual journey from rigid distinctions toward a cosmic wholeness. Four musical intervals are explored, mixed, and resolved to a final consonant yoga chant - “Om”.
