Previte-Terminal A "Newark" (SP)-C/V/Cro./Steel dr./P (from Terminals: Five Cycles)

Terminals by Bobby Previte exists in two iterations: the concerto version and the pure percussion ensemble version. The concerto version consists of five separate pieces for four percussionists and soloist: one for harp/guitar, voice, turntables/electronics/drum set, and piano/organ.
