Program Notes

Reviews

This sextet is marked internmediate by the publisher and is scored for 3 snare drums, suspend/hand cymbals, triangle and bass drnm. The 3 drum parts contain hocket-like passages, unison writing and solo passages, utilizing both mares on and off. The other three parts support the snare drum parts with hocket-like ostinatos and unison writing. The introduction rises all six parts in a hocket-like manner. Rolls and embellishments are limited to the snare drum parts-fp long rolls, 5’s and 9’s, flams and ruffs, etc. A tempo of quarter = 120 should not prove to be a problem for intermediate snare drummers. Dynamics and performance directions are clearly marked, the printing is large and very clear. Suitable for teaching and recital use by beginning-intermediate percussionists. The cymbal, triangle and bass drum parts are really beginning technically but the hocket-like passages require a more intermediate level of counting and ensemble experience. - John Baldwin, December 1992
