Blume-Detour (SP)-B/V/C/X/2M/4T/P

Detour by Brian Blume for percussion ensemble. While a detour is often an annoyance or hindrance, occasionally a detour can add some excitement to an otherwise mundane travel experience. Maybe it is a detour through a new and exciting landscape, or perhaps a detour takes you on a treacherous and thrilling journey. Sometimes life forces us to take detours from our planned routes, making it a truly unpredictable and wild ride.
