Ziek in January of 2001 as a showcase for the talents of percussionist Scott Herring. The concerto is in three connected movements and features the soloist on a variety of instruments, including marimba, vibraphone, bells, and crotales. A large percussion battery with two snare drums, multiple toms, brake drums, and bass drum is also used. The first movement, March, utilizes a quasi five-part rondo form. The movement starts with a solo snare drum, with the ensemble providing melodic interjections. The introduction builds to the first solo marimba entrance. A left hand ostinato leads to a melodic figure which alternates between 6\/8 and 4\/4. A short snare drum solo sets up the middle section, in which the soloist and ensemble trade musical ideas. The multi-meter passage returns, with the soloist embellishing ensemble melodic figures. An abrupt modulation leads to the final section, which echoes the opening ideas of the movement. March ends with the soloist back on the snare drum, as it comes quietly to its conclusion. The concerto immediately segues into the second movement, Meditation, which begins with the ethereal sound of multiple sets of wind chimes. As the movement progresses, the soloist plays long, reflective lines over a simple ensemble accompaniment, on various combinations of keyboard percussion instruments. The movement builds to a moment of triumph, before returning to its initial contemplative state. Fantasia (a free flight of fancy) immediately shatters the previous mood. A loud, cacophonous ensemble accompaniment provides a charged atmosphere for the soloist to utilize the percussion battery. A short melodic section, noble in character, leads to the initial climax of the final movement. The atmosphere abruptly changes again, as the ensemble and soloist embark upon a fast, violent new section. Musical lines are furiously exchanged, leading up to a thunderous percussive display. The mood is suddenly tinged with blues and jazz influences, letting the soloist function in a manner reminiscent of a drum set player. The final section of Fantasia begins with an unaccompanied marimba solo, played at breakneck speed. The ensemble begins to gradually join the soloist, as the movement build to a final, fortissimo climax.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of players: 1+ wind ensemble\u003cbr\u003eDifficulty: Advanced\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstrumentation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoloist: 4.6-octave marimba, vibraphone, crotales, bells, marching snare drum, concert snare drum, 4 toms, bass drum, 2 bongos, 2 brake drums, 2 suspended cymbals \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWind ensemble:\u003cbr\u003ePiccolo\u003cbr\u003eFlute 1\/2\u003cbr\u003eOboe 1\/2\u003cbr\u003eBb Clarinet 1\u003cbr\u003eBb Clarinet 2\u003cbr\u003eBb Clarinet 3\u003cbr\u003eBass Clarinet\u003cbr\u003eBassoon 1\/2\u003cbr\u003eAlto Saxophone 1\/2\u003cbr\u003eTenor Saxophone\u003cbr\u003eBaritone Saxophone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBb Trumpet 1\u003cbr\u003eBb Trumpet 2\u003cbr\u003eBb Trumpet 3\u003cbr\u003eHorn 1\u003cbr\u003eHorn 2\/3\u003cbr\u003eTrombone 1\u003cbr\u003eTrombone 2\/3\u003cbr\u003eEuphonium\u003cbr\u003eTuba\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePercussion 1 (tam-tam, temple blocks, wind chimes, snare drum)\u003cbr\u003ePercussion 2 (Chinese cymbal, bass drum, wind chimes, crash cymbals)\u003cbr\u003ePercussion 3 (suspended cymbal, triangle, chimes, wind chimes, crash cymbals, marimba)\u003cbr\u003ePercussion 4 (vibraphone, xylophone, suspended cymbal, cabasa, wind chimes, ratchet, tambourine)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis item is the set of wind ensemble parts.

Ziek in January of 2001 as a showcase for the talents of percussionist Scott Herring. The concerto is in three connected movements and features the soloist on a variety of instruments, including marimba, vibraphone, bells, and crotales. A large percussion battery with two snare drums, multiple toms, brake drums, and bass drum is also used. The first movement, March, utilizes a quasi five-part rondo form. The movement starts with a solo snare drum, with the ensemble providing melodic interjections. The introduction builds to the first solo marimba entrance. A left hand ostinato leads to a melodic figure which alternates between 6\/8 and 4\/4. A short snare drum solo sets up the middle section, in which the soloist and ensemble trade musical ideas. The multi-meter passage returns, with the soloist embellishing ensemble melodic figures. An abrupt modulation leads to the final section, which echoes the opening ideas of the movement. March ends with the soloist back on the snare drum, as it comes quietly to its conclusion. The concerto immediately segues into the second movement, Meditation, which begins with the ethereal sound of multiple sets of wind chimes. As the movement progresses, the soloist plays long, reflective lines over a simple ensemble accompaniment, on various combinations of keyboard percussion instruments. The movement builds to a moment of triumph, before returning to its initial contemplative state. Fantasia (a free flight of fancy) immediately shatters the previous mood. A loud, cacophonous ensemble accompaniment provides a charged atmosphere for the soloist to utilize the percussion battery. A short melodic section, noble in character, leads to the initial climax of the final movement. The atmosphere abruptly changes again, as the ensemble and soloist embark upon a fast, violent new section. Musical lines are furiously exchanged, leading up to a thunderous percussive display. The mood is suddenly tinged with blues and jazz influences, letting the soloist function in a manner reminiscent of a drum set player. The final section of Fantasia begins with an unaccompanied marimba solo, played at breakneck speed. The ensemble begins to gradually join the soloist, as the movement build to a final, fortissimo climax.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of players: 2\u003cbr\u003eDifficulty: Advanced\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstrumentation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 1: 4.6-octave marimba, vibraphone, crotales, bells, marching snare drum, concert snare drum, 4 toms, bass drum, 2 bongos, 2 brake drums, 2 suspended cymbals\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 2: Piano\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis item is the piano reduction of this work.

It was full of dialogue between the two soloists and included every percussion instrument except the kitchen sink. The kids laughed and rocked along with every note and effect.

Afro-Brazilian music is no exception. In Ligare, ('linked'), Brazilian composer Alexandre Lunsqui utilizes this natural affinity to great advantage. Ligare is a piece that literally links the two instrumental colors into a rapid flow of singular gestures. The performers are frequently connected in rhythmic unisons clearly informed by the Afro-Brazilian rhythmic vocabulary. Yet Lunsqui is not writing in imitation of such music. He transcends it with a sculptured sonic sensibility that is unmistakably modern and individual. Ligare links the contemporary with the folkloric, succeeding in a beautiful fusion representative of the celebratory aspects of musical globalization.
