Program Notes
dedication: to Dr. David Eyler and the Tri-College Percussion Ensemble; Level VI
Commissioned by David Eyler and the Concordia College Percussion Enesemble (Moorhead, Minnesota). 3 movement piece, scored for 12 percussionists (2 vibes, 5 marimbas, 4 percussion, timp.)and piano. The piece runs about 16 minutes. Very demanding on the solo saxophonist, yet accessible by a good high school percussion ensemble. High energy, fast and audience friendly. GRAMOPHONE Magazine, (Feb., 2003) noted: 'Peterson's own 16-minute Concerto, featuring Spanish rhythms and a lovely second-movement duet with vibraphone, is an effective vehicle for his striking command of color and dynamics. The highly-charged sound is riveting...' [1]
Commercial Discography
The entire piece can be heard on Russell's CD American Breath.[2]
