Norgard-Zigzag (S)- V/M/Tuned gongs/Steel dr./P

Zigzag by Per Norgard for percussion sextet. This piece derives its characteristic rhythmic impulse from the establishing of simple meters that are abruptly cut off before completion, only to start over again immediately. This creates a sort of cubistic rhythmic effect.

Player 3 - congas, 4.5-octave marimba
Player 4 - 2 large Chinese tom toms, 2 large tom toms, vibraphone
