Program Notes

Review

Samba Classico, a percussion quartet, is scored for bongos, timbales and bass drum, four concert toms, and four timpani. Most of the material consists of various rhythmic combinations that interact with one another over an ostinato pattern played by the timpanist, which occurs throughout much of the composition. The entire work is in common time, and one change in tempo, a piu mosso, closes the performance. The execution and interaction of the parts and the unison passages will be challenging for young ensembles. The print is easy to read, and stick requirements are presented by pictograms. The Latin feel should be fun and provide excellent training for the high school and young college ensemble. - George Frock, August 1995
