Leonard-Canticle-4T

Canticle by Stanley Leonard is a virtuosic work for solo timpani in 2 movements. The music opens with a fanfare-like recitative followed by a slow, marching section punctuated by a single-drum beat pulse played in the center of a timpano head. The second movement is a joyous dance in 7/8 time.
