Description:
This three-part work was commissioned by Kunstfactor-the Dutch Institute for Amateur Art. Its purpose is to further the repertoire for solo percussionist and orchestral accompaniment-whether brass band, fanfare orchestra or wind band. For a good performance, the soloist should be well-versed in a variety of techniques, and should have a good understanding of the instruments not only technically, but also musically. In terms of the selection of instruments and also technique, the first and second movement are more classical in style, while the final movement-with a set-up of various so-called 'untuned' instruments-is more suited to contemporary solo kit playing. These distinctions will become clear to the soloist while studying the piece. (Menno Bosgra) Movement One requires timpani and tambourine; Movement Two requires marimba and vibraphone; Movement Three is a set-up of: five untuned drums (bongos and toms), large drum (standing), large floor drum or smaller bass drum (lying down), cowbell on a stand, suspended cymbals, Chinese cymbal and small drum.
