Following are two sections using the  same melodic material, yet they are quite different from each other. The middle section of the work is done in a senza misura style with spatial notation for the timpanist. A harmonic modulation follows this section and the melodic content of the last section is taken through several rhythmic changes. The composition ends in an exciting manner, giving the timpanist a final brief cadenza.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Players: 6\u003cbr\u003eDifficulty: Grade 6\u003cbr\u003eInstrumentation:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e Player I: 4 Timpani\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e Player II: Marimba, Xylophone, 2 Brake Drums\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e Player III: Vibraphone, 4 Concert Toms, Chimes*, Bongos*\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e Player IV: Bells, Chimes*, Bongos*\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e Player V: Snare Drum\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e Player VI: Bass Drum, 2 Woodblocks, Claves, Gong\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*Player III and IV share Chimes and Bongos.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn H.
