PERCUSSION<br />

NOTES<br />

• This piece calls for a timpanist plus 7 percussionists. If 8 players are<br />

not available, parts may be omitted in this order:<br />

Percussion 1<br />

Percussion 7<br />

Percussion 5<br />

Percussion 2<br />

• Jam blocks are called for in two of the percussion parts. Woodblocks<br />

or temple blocks are suitable substitutes if jam blocks are not<br />

available.<br />

• The vibraphone should be played with vibrato (motor on) during all<br />

passages.<br />

• Measures 55-63 contain an involved series of rhythms for the crash<br />

cymbals. The speed of the passage would make the use of repeated<br />

standard concert-style attacks impractical. Thus, the player should<br />

experiment with creative ways to deliver a tight groove effect using a<br />

combination of different types of strokes similar to those that might<br />

be used in a marching or brass band context.<br />

• The Percussion 5 part calls for tom-toms (high and low). The 2 lowest<br />

available tom-toms should be used.<br />

• The percussion grid in the instrumentation section indicates<br />

instruments that appear in multiple parts. It is possible to share<br />

instruments in most of these instances, although it may be preferable<br />

to provide each part with its own set of auxiliary instruments due to<br />

the minimal transition time between some passages.
