Description
Septet by Daniel Levitan is a virtuosic work for non-pitched percussion ensemble, featuring an Afro/Cuban-inspired theme that is constantly varied and developed. This piece requires seven performers that can seriously count and is best suited for a collegiate group. While the music is complicated, the groovy nature of this piece will keep the audience engaged even when "1" becomes fairly obscure. One lucky percussionist will develop serious cabasa skills.
