Tim Waugh has creatively used three letters from the words "rhythm" and "music" to form "Rytmus", the title of this exciting original composition. Moving between 9/8 and 7/8, the opening theme is stated, then builds as distinctive counter melodies are introduced and combined with it. A moderato section, which remains in 9/8, offers a contrasting theme and a slightly relaxed interval before returning to the exhilarating intensity of the opening themes. This one is a guaranteed show stopper! Adding the optional percussion makes it breathtaking! Written in D minor mode, the composition is 100 measures.
