Commissioned by Okayama Sanyo High School in 2010. The Latin title means "perfect (complete/perfect) trinity." There are several ideas behind the title, but the "trinity" referred to here is not religious. Instead, it represents the human aspects of "mind, skill, and body," the percussion elements of "membrane, wood, and metal," and the musical elements of "melody, rhythm, and harmony." This piece features a wide variety and number of instruments, making it a work filled with the full appeal of percussion.
