Volans-She Who Sleeps With A Small Blanket

She Who Sleeps With A Small Blanket by Kevin Volans was written for Robyn Schulkowsky and first performed by her at the Museum Carolino Augusteum in Salzburg 1985. By limiting the instrumentation of the main part of the piece to drums only, the composer explored several kinds of patterning, the principal one being cross-rhythms in triplets played with two sticks. A short coda for marimba concludes the work. Duration 16 minutes.
