Credit must be given to Warner Bros. Publications for including "Bomba," a percussion quintet, and "Simfony #13," a percussion quartet, in a "Master Percussion Ensemble Series." No one deserves this honor more than Lou Harrison, one of the significant composers of the 20th century, particularly important for his interest in non-Western source material and his contributions to music for percussion instruments. Both pieces reflect his interest in unconventional instruments. "Bomba" is scored for three flower pots, brake drums, thundersheet, metal rattle, and rasp, in addition to more conventional concert instruments. In "Simfony #13," each player confronts a large setup including five woodblocks, six water buffalo bells, seven cowbells, five temple blocks, ten brake drums, and elephant bell, plus triangle, suspended cymbal, gong, tam tam, seven toms and a "contra bass drum." Much of the music in these two works is written in a contrapuntal style and treats the instruments in a melodic manner, with patterns often phrased over barlines, setting up rhythmic dissonances between parts, not unlike the writing found in pieces such as Cage's "Third Construction." These two works can be considered "classics," along with the contributions of composers such as Cage, Varèse, and Stockhausen. - John R. Raush, December 1998 [1]
