Program Notes
Review
BRAVO: Thank you, Mr. Huteau We percussion and music educators consistently "dump" stupid little pieces on our beginning percussion students because of 1) laziness to look elsewhere for more challenging works, and 2) a real lack of good, quality introductory pieces available. Add one to the library A La Chionoise introduces (unbelievable) xylophone, tamtam, triangle (crotale), glockenspiel and chimes (one note) to the vocabulary and repertoire of the heretofore "dumb drummer." No longer can he be content with snare drum works that prove boring and unchallenging. This cute little piece--complete with relatively easy piano accompaniment to help with ensemble concept-provides easy yet interesting melodic interplay amongst the instruments themselves and the piano. Dynamics and stick designations enhance A La Chinoise, delivered to us from Pans through Theodore Presser by way of Aug. Zurfluh publishers, is on good quality paper with clean and clear printing. I recommend it to any teacher wishing to challenge his budding percussionist on other instruments of the family than the over-used snare drum. - Larry White, December 1991[1]
