  • Oriol Cruixent “Oraculum” Op.72 (Latin, m., literally: oracle) is a Concerto for Multi-Percussion and Orchestra in seven parts, suggesting a musical Way through the seven Chakras. Oracles were thought to be portals through which the gods spoke directly to people. Chakras (Sanskrit, m., literally: wheel, discus, circle) are the various energy centers between the physical body and the subtle human body used in a variety of meditation practices in Tantric Hinduism, Tantric-Buddhist Vajrayana and in Yoga. In “Oraculum” the Solo Percussion Part acts as a Oracle inviting the asking listener to allow the opening of his own chakras one by one through an active and conscious listening experience.Oriol Cruixent has composed and dedicated “Oraculum” to the percussionist Vivi Vassileva, with whom he has a long-standing musical friendship.
