 DIGITAL
REFLECTIONS for TENORS AND CD by Gene Fambrough
- Grade 5 |
$12.00 |
| Digital Reflections - This solo combines rudimental percussion with electronic accompaniment to create and exciting, challenging, and rewarding experience for performer and audience alike. Written for a standard set of marching "quints", this up-tempo (mm=160) solo utilizes comtemporary tenor drum playing techniques to make a recital piece for the advanced high school or college level student. Many intricate rhythms and "split" patterns must be carefully coordinated with the CD accompaniment in order to perform this work effectively. | |
|
"This
solo for tenor drums and compact disc represents
something of a musical hybrid, combining as
it does the rudimental genre typically found
in an unaccompanied solo format with aspects
of concert multi-percussion literature, in which
taped accompaniments are commonplace. It is
written for a set of six marching tenor drums
(including two six-inch "shot"drums),
although a set of "quints" may also
be used. (The composer notes that the piece
can be played by one player, or multiple players
on "matching sets of marching tenor drums.")
The performer will encounter standard rudiments(e.g.,
double-stroke rolls, paradiddles and easy flam
rudiments), but the piece presents challenges
resulting from movement around the drums. as
found in it sweep patterns.
Good timing will be necessary to play with the CD, which contains electronically generated percussion sounds. The latter are notated on a second staff below the tenor part, easing some of the ensemble difficulties in staying with the CD. A good college tenor drummer will appreciate the challenges found in this very unusual solo." John Raush – PERCUSSIVE NOTES - June 2003 |
