Description
In When Worlds Collide, the title couldn’t be more fitting. The multifaceted Rick Dior creates a mash up of numerous cultures and musical styles. If played in its entirety, the total duration of the piece lasts around 20 minutes. At its core, When Worlds Collide is a groove-base composition containing several aspects of the World Music genre. Improvisation also plays a large role throughout the piece which can be configured to feature one or more soloists. (It would also be a great vehicle for featuring guest artists!) The parts in this composition vary in skill level from rather basic to quite advanced. It can be treated as a solo feature for a talented drumset player or as a feature for the director performing on vibraphone and drumset. There’s plenty of room to make it your own and tailor it to the strengths of your own group.
