Varner-Imagined Diversions (SP)-P

Imagined Diversions by Michael Varner is a contemporary ensemble that features a wide range of colors and textures based around a Rondo form using as many variants on "Seven" as possible. Each performer plays a tambourine giving lots of opportunity for various tambourine technical work. This piece is a "footprint" piece that follows the same set up as Nathan Daughtrey's Sizzle allowing for minimal transition setup time between pieces.
