Description

Point of Reckoning by David Gillingham is a powerful, energetic work for a large percussion ensemble. It is written based on the hymn "O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing," and it moves rapidly between rhythmic dissonance and rich, lyrical moments. Orchestrated by Nathan Daughtrey, this large ensemble utilizes the rich, varied character that percussion ensemble instrumentation offers to bring this piece to life in a new way.
