Alfieri-Fanfare for Tambourines-P

John Alfieri's piece, Fanfare for Tambourines provides a great example of the use of extended techniques for tambourine. Shake rolls, finger rollls and knee/fist techniques are all explored and supported with tom toms and concert bass drums. Fanfare for Tambourines would be a great way to start or end a percussion ensemble concert.
