	Story Behind the Song This piece is divided like this (for those who care) "Meditation" - A "Dance" - B "Preperation for the Sacrifice & Sacrifice" - C "Dance" - B' "Post-Sacrifice Meditation" - A' + coda This piece represents my first expiriment in combining 12 tone and free tonal composition. I used the same tone row that I used in "Hommage a Kurosawa", but much differently. I do use the row in a strict serial way in the piece, altough rarely. I mostly used it for harmonic motion, key pitches and tonal centers. At times, I completely abandon the row (like in the dance). I wanted to write a large, single movement guitar piece that would be suited to performing in the concert hall. "Meditation, Dance & Sacrifice" was premiered by Steve Kostelnik in Austin, Texas on May 5th, 2000.
