Ritual brings a collection of new compositions for Orchestra, Voices, and Chamber Ensembles. The composer appeared to be working more towards the production of formal classical works which display a significant grounding in Argentine lyricism -usually associated with Tango- plus elements of classical music and piano improvisation. This work features virtuosic vocal and violin lines, full orchestra textures, and Otero’s pianism. The album emphasizes melodic and slow tempos and the bandoneon is present in two of the pieces, driving the listener into an Argentine atmosphere, both timbrical and melodic.
