Program Notes
"Istra" is a multiple-percussion solo scored for bass drum, three toms and a small suspended cymbal. Written in common time, the solo explores mixing quarter-, eighth- and sixteenth-note groupings. There are ample dynamic changes for interest, and the accents create energy and motion for the solo. It is in a standard three-part form (fast-slow-fast). The slower middle section is played with the fingers. This is an excellent solo that will provide experience for an advanced middle school to young high school percussion student. It should also receive strong consideration for prescribed music lists for solo contest formats.
