Description
Spectrum is an experiment in tone color. Essentially, it is a survey of the full spectrum of colors offered by the percussion ensemble. Each movement explores a particular subset of percussion instruments: Crystalline uses metal percussion; Membranic uses drums with membranes; Ligneous uses wood percussion. Similar musical ideas return in every movement, but they are altered slightly to more appropriately fit the character of that respective subset. The metal instruments evoke a cold and eerie feeling. In contrast, Membranic presents similar material in a more intense and aggressive manner, and the wooden instruments of Ligneous provide a more organic, “folky” character.
