These angular yet often meditative avant-garde works, performed by faculty and top student performers at BYU, display what author Steven Johnson calls Hicks' \"intellectual and spiritual independence [in] sound, which he treats intuitively, sensuously.\" The lavish packaging includes the composer's descriptions of each piece.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003chr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClick \"Add to Cart\" above to purchase this CD.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eOr DOWNLOAD or STREAM from your favorite digital platform below:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/byurecords.lnk.to\/MHritualgroundsBY\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"__mce_add_custom__\" title=\"download-stream-anyway-you-want-180px-corrected.png\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-f4187\/product_images\/uploaded_images\/artboard-12.png\" alt=\"download-stream-anyway-you-want-180px-corrected.png\" width=\"366\" height=\"70\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Ritual-Grounds-Michael-Hicks\/dp\/B002ARU36W\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1492709573\u0026amp;sr=8-1\u0026amp;keywords=ritual+grounds+michael+hicks\u0026amp;linkCode=ll1\u0026amp;tag=wwwtantararec-20\u0026amp;linkId=8eacfcbf3d6ce520baf4cf59c51d1bd2\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"__mce_add_custom__\" title=\"available-at-amazon-en-horizontal-adjusted.png\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-f4187\/product_images\/uploaded_images\/available-at-amazon-en-horizontal-adjusted.png\" alt=\"available-at-amazon-en-horizontal-adjusted.png\" width=\"234\" height=\"30\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003chr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ca class=\"listen\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tantararecords.com\/mp3\/BRG\/BRG_1.mp3\"\u003e1.
