Review
ENCOUNTERS VI is a "Concertino for Roto Toms and Percussion Quartet (1976)." The solo part calls for seven roto-toms (18, 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, and 6 inches), triangle, four cymbals (including sizzle), and five crotales (G, C#, F D#, E, and F#). Ensemble parts include a vibraphone shared by all players, glockenspiel, chimes, four tam-tams, bass drum, spring coil and wind chimes. Some of the special techniques required include use of bass bows, "Bunker trill" and vibraphone, use of fingers, circular glissande, use of small rugs as keyboard mutes, use of crotales on drum heads, etc. The graphic symbols one might expect in a Kraft piece are included along with additional detailed performance instructions relating to striking material, striking place, etc. Improvisatory passages are present in both ensemble and solo parts. Encounters VI is a welcome addition to the sparse literature available for a percussion soloist and percussion ensemble. This piece is interesting to listen to, exciting to perform, and ideal for a traveling solo percussionist in that the rehearsal time necessary for soloist and ensemble together is minimal. - Gary Olmstead[1]
