Di Bartolo-From the Ground Up (SP)-P OS

From the Ground Up by Anthony M. Di Bartolo was named the second place winner from the 2012 PAS competition contest. Although the drumset player is the soloist, all parts are equally challenging and work together to build a complex tapestry of interlocking musical lines. There is a slow section sandwiched between two groove-oriented movements but they all flow seamlessly into one another. The work showcases a different character that shines throughout each movement and ends with a culmination of many themes followed by a glorious, yet unrelenting growing mass of sound.
