Stephens-Three Interludes (SP)-P

Three Interludes is a collection of pieces which are meant to explore the rhythmic and timbral possibilities found in standard percussion instruments. They are not meant to be performed as a whole work but as individual pieces. They can be used as transition pieces between larger set changes or as standalone works on a concert program. These challenging pieces are great for intermediate and advanced students to showcase their chamber music skills in any performance environment.
