Gottry-Just Like That (SP)-P

Just Like That by Josh Gottry is a percussion quintet scored for one concert tom and one woodblock per player. Based on variations of a traditional cascara pattern, this energetic and rhythmically driven work weaves through several time signature changes and dramatic dynamic contrasts. The original pattern is repeated, offset, fragmented, and manipulated in a variety of ways to create an ever-changing texture as underlying melodic lines are created in the concert tom voices. An excellent work for intermediate level ensembles to work rhythmic alignment and precision, this piece also would be perfect for a collaborative project with a school or local dance program.
