In Musique sur passacaille, collectif9 reveals surprising musical connections using an old form from European classical art music. Through works by Frescobaldi, R. Murray Schafer, Caroline Shaw, Webern, Ligeti, and a world premiere by Rose Bolton, discover a wide-reaching exploratory programme sustained by the repetitive bass lines characteristic of the passacaglia.
