Review

David Mancini's Suite for Timpani (ca. :4:30) is written not in the usual multi-movement format of the baroque suite but as one continuous - albeit sectionalized - movement. However, like the indMdual movements of the suite, each section of this through-composed piece does maintain an identity of its own. The sections include a brief introduction followed by a moderato 12/8 section using repeated melodic patterns set in constantly changing accent schemes; a short, unbarred interlude characterized by crescendo, decrescendo, and legato rolls; a brief'section using a left-hand ostinato accompanying a right-hand melody; and a concluding section featuring alternating and variable meters. Except for wide-interval glissandi, the limited pedaling requirements involve conjunct pitches only. This is material for the more advanced high school or college level timpanist. From a musical standpoint, some sections of this work seem a bit too brief considering the proportions of the piece as a whole. However, this solo will not disappoint those who delight in a physical challenge and find moving rapidly over all four drums an exhilarating experience.
