Program Notes
Originally for two toms found in Daughtrey's collection of duets for young percussionists, DUOLOGY, Drums of Moria has been expanded for full percussion ensemble for C. Alan's IGNITE SERIES. Inspired by the barbaric drums described in J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings," the piece uses two toms, bass drum, and two players on one xylophone in a variety of ways to evoke a range of dark images and moods.
