{"product_id":"timelines-udow","title":"Udow-Timelines (SP)-B\/2V\/C\/Cro.\/7M\/4-5T\/P OS","description":"Timelines by Michael Udow for solo percussion and 14 percussionists. This piece was commissioned for Alan Abel and the Florida Percussion Summit at the request of John Evans. With due respect and homage to the great masters of the art of composition, melodic motives go intentionally awry with hints of Beethoven's Fifth and Ninth Symphonies, Ravel's Bolero, Rimsky-Korsikov's Scherazade, Leoncavallo's Il Pagliachi, to Stravinsky's Petrouschka, etc. Juxtaposing Beethoven's Fifth Symphony with a type of \"Cubist\" angular warping of the rhythmic snare drum motive from Ravel's Bolero is but the tip of the iceberg.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInstrumentation:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
