Description
Beginning in the 15th century timpani were employed to capture an audience’s attention. Whether for an announcement, event or concert, paired with brass instruments in a fanfare or in an orchestral setting as a solo, the combination of rhythm and pitch at the heart of the instruments have been a useful tool for composers throughout music history. Incorporated in this solo are excerpted portions of the following pieces that are well known for using the timpani as a vehicle for heraldic moments in the music: “Alsosprach Zarathustra” by Richard Strauss, Symphony No. 9 (mvmt. II) by Ludwig van Beethoven, “Fanfare for the Common Man” by Aaron Copland, “Bugler’s Dream” by Leo Arnaud, “Olympic Fanfare and Theme” by John Williams and “Hallelujah Chorus” from Messiah by George Frideric Handel.
