The Hydra is an expert dart player and brick-layer so they say.
The excerpt is bars 1-5 of the piece. They are exceptionally long bars in 9/4. It first employs the G, Ab, A, D# germ from the first three Hydra pieces in a Lydian form (Ab-Bb-B-E), then enharmonically (G-Ab-Abb-Eb), and finally harmonized in 4ths at the climax of the piece. It might be characterized as "Bumble-Creepy".
The melody against the accompaniment creates a 3:4 polyrhythm which, if executed neatly with metric precision, is not difficult to bring forth.
The music creates a similar sinister and haunting aura as in all the other series, however. I sincerely hope that you enjoy this piece as well as the other "Hydras" pieces. But one must never rush a Hydra…. Please go to my Score Exchange catalog to purchase my scores for very, nearly FREE, reasonable prices. scoreexchange.com/profiles/cjrenzi
