Moore, J.-Prelude and Dance-P/C/M/V/B/3T

Prelude and Dance by James Moore for percussion sextet. The Prelude movement is slow in tempo with a mysterioso quality. The rhythmic Dance movement contrasts with the opening movement that begins with a layering of ostinati from the Latin American rhythm instruments that enter one by one.

Player 2 - Vibraphone, Triangle, Bongos
Player 3 - Bells, Gong, Maracas
Player 4 - Gong, Timpani, Cowbell
