Profit-C: from Prophecies of War - Paperback

by Andrew Hanna (Composer)

Profit-C, from the larger production Prophecies of War, reimagines the fugue within a progressive rock setting. The work opens with a solitary melody that is gradually introduced by each instrument in succession, creating a layered contrapuntal texture before expanding into a large-scale developmental form.

Structured in three sections, the composition presents a distinct opening theme and closing statement connected by an extended transformation section. What begins as a tranquil and reflective musical landscape gradually evolves as each melodic line develops independently, increasing in complexity and tension. The piece culminates in a chaotic and dissonant unison passage built around a repetitive seven-note figure before returning to its final thematic statement.

Harmonically, Profit-C begins in B Aeolian before progressing toward a contrasting harmonic framework centered on E minor and B♭ major. Combining elements of progressive rock, contrapuntal writing, and thematic transformation, the work is intended for advanced musicians seeking challenging and distinctive contemporary repertoire.
