Burritt-Dex (SP)-P - Product Information
Dex for Percussion Quartet by Michael Burritt.
Dex was commissioned by and dedicated to the University of Texas Percussion Ensemble, (Thomas Burritt, Director) and premiered by the group at the 2012 Percussive Arts Society International Convention in Austin Texas.
Instrumentation:
Player 1 - Bongos, Toms and Bass Drum
Player 2 - Bongos, Toms and Bass Drum
Player 3 - Bongos, Toms, and Bass Drum
Player 4 - Bongos, Toms and Bass Drum
From the composer, "Tom had asked me for an exhilarating drum piece to fit between two larger works on his program. When I began writing the piece I found myself composing rhythms in the style and feel of the great drummer, John Bonham. Not intentionally, but in reflection, Bonham's heavy and convicted style of drumming felt like the perfect paradigm for this work. Dex moves through a myriad of textures, colors, and metric modulations to create sort of a "drumming fanfare" that I hope is both fun to play and expierence as a listener.
Dex is named for my dog and best buddy Dexter, who sat beside me on our porch as I wrote much of this piece."
