Brooks-Gunga Galunga

"Gunga Galunga" is a moderately challenging ensemble work for a young percussion ensemble. The timpani sets this piece up with a infectious groove that is embellishes by the rest of the percussionists. The limited instrumentation is no indicator of the plethora of creative rhythmic motives that Chris Brooks masterfully engages in the course of this piece. This piece is suited for many playing situations.
