Moore, M.-Vector (SP)-B/2V/X/2M/MIDI controllers

Vector by Matt Moore is written for keyboard percussion and electronics. The keyboard percussion parts are of easy/intermediate difficulty, with most of the challenge coming from ensemble timing/listening. Vector can serve as a front ensemble warm-up or stand on its own on a percussion ensemble concert. The keyboard parts are fully playable with two mallets, though players may choose to use four. The drum set part may be played with a drum pad MIDI controller, a fully electronic drum set, or an acoustic drum set. Vector may also be performed with only the keyboard parts and an audio track which replaces the MIDI controllers and drums.
