Review
Rich Holly has written a new solo timpani work entitled Rondo for Timpani. Holly uses the standard four drums in this three-page composition and applys some performance ideas from the marimba for added contrast. The work begins quietly as the player, using four mallets, plays a one-handed roll pedal tone. This sets the stage as the main theme is stated. A great deal of pedaling is required in this melodic theme, but all of the pedal changes are clear and accessible. The music grows faster as “marimba-like” permutations are played around the timpani. Stickings are well placed as the form changes into an energetic rhythmical section that is attractive but challenging. The player changes to two mallets in the middle of the piece and then returns to four mallets at the end as the rondo form would suggest. Rondo for Timpani is a fine solo. It is musically interesting, technically challenging and it is not too long. Educators and students will enjoy this work as it finds its way to recitals of all levels. Mark Ford, April 1994[1]
