Program Notes

premiere: 4 April 1985, Topeka, Kansas, University of Kansas Percussion Ensemble; Level IV+

Opening with a short rolled mallet section, this piece quickly moves into a fast and rhythmic romp for the entire ensemble. Memorable melodies are masterfully accompanied by an underlying pulse in the battery.
