"Since Time Began" mvt. 4: Revolutions (1923). By Michael Burritt.

Since Time Began was commissioned for the celebration of the Zildjian 400 Anniversary in 2023. The vision for this project was to create a 30 minute percussion quartet in 4 movements, with each of the movements representing 100 years in history of the iconic company.

The final movement, Revolutions (1923), represents the last 100 years, where the evolution of Jazz, Popular and Contemporary Classical music shared a symbiotic relationship with the development and influence of Zildjian Cymbals on these genres. The movement reflects these styles using a gritty and driving rhythmic language and modal melodic platform reminiscent of Bebop, Boulez, Bartok and Zappa.

"A special thanks to Zildjian for giving me the opportunity to write this work for this monumental occasion. I can’t think of another company that has consistently led with innovation and excellence while always putting artistry at the forefront of their mission. Congratulations! Here’s to the next 400 years!!!

Additional thanks to Third Coast Percussion for taking on this project. Working with you on this piece has been one of the most rewarding and meaningful experiences of my career. When your students become your heroes, you know you’re doing something right." — MJB, October, 2023
