Program Notes
Anthony Cirone has served as percussionist with the San Francisco Symphony and Professor of Music at San Jose State University since 1965 and is currently head of percussion studies at The University of Indiana, Bloomington. Cirone is a prolific composer with over 60 published titles. One of his most famous works is 4/4 for Four, a dynamic conversation between 4 sets of percussion instruments. Principal rhythmic motives are stated in 4/4 time, but are often stated in hyper-meters over 2 or 3 bars. Cirone explores the numerous sonorities of the timpani, bongos, timbales and tom-toms, where the performers are asked to play rhythmic melodies as well as textural accompaniments. From his long association with orchestral music, Cirone often uses forms found in typical 18th and 19th century symphonic works. This work resembles a finale to a 19th century symphony, perhaps something from Tchaikovsky. Starting with an allegro maestoso, he then cadences and moves on with a presto and the coda is a presto vivo.
