Moore, J.-Apex (SP)-P

Apex by Joe W. Moore III represents an amalgamation of different percussive sounds: glass bottles, pieces of wood, bell tree, toms, triangle, bongos, kick drum, and snare drum. The word Apex means high point; so much of the music begins at the higher pitched instruments and moves down in contour. This happens many times throughout the piece in each part continually bringing the listener back to the Apex of sound.
