Program Notes

Review

"Fanfare for Six" is perfect for the "advanced beginner" percussion ensemble. The required instrumentation for the six performers consists of snare drum, piccolo snare drum, four tom-toms and two marching bass drums. The performance notes are specific in regards to timbre (edge, center, rim), dynamic, and tempo considerations. The performance time is approximately three minutes. Henry ingeniously utilizes two motivic ideas and varies them throughout. The difficulty for the players lies in performing these motives with precision in their varied states. Playing on downbeats and "&'s" against "e's" and "a's" between the players will need attention. Sixteenth-note triplets are utilized in all parts and rolls are included in the snare drum parts. Repeat signs and first- and second-ending indications are marked clearly, with the exception of player one's part, in which the second- ending marking is missing. - Lisa Rogers, February 1998
