Boxall-Clappercussion 4 bodies SP

Based on interlocking ostinati, this quartet will be useful for the teaching of dynamic concepts and syncopation at an easy level. The piece can be performed while standing or seated and more than one person can play each part. While the rhythms consist of only quarter and eighth notes and their corresponding rests, the tempo moves at a very quick pace and much attention must be given to realizing the nuances called for by the various playing techniques: foot stamp, leg slap, hand clap, finger clicks and tapping the palm with two fingers.  jr. high - college.
