| + | Anthony Cirone's Symphony #3 (in four movements) for percussion sextet is scored for bells, xylophone, vibraphone, marimba, four toms, suspended cymbal, triangle, four timpani, chimes and four RotoToms. It is based upon several parts of the traditional Mass, with corresponding orchestration approaches. The slow first movement ("Lord Have Mercy") is based upon a haunting four-note motive. The second movement ("Glory Be To God") is a spirited 3/4 piece that includes a marimba cadenza. The third movement ("Holy, Holy, Holy") is a dense, angular work featuring unusual sonorities and rhythmic phrases. The fourth movement ("Lamb of God") is a slow chorale accompanied by a regal timpani statement. The vibist is required to use four mallets and several parts make use of quintuplets and sextuplets. The writing is excellent and of the Manhattan Marimba Quartet and Marimolin. In this unusual work--a trio scored for two cowbells, two drums, and one temple block--Levitan works with a two-bar rhythmic theme to build an exciting piece that displays his penchant for creating subtle rhythmic effects through the manipulation of accents and rests. A good performance of this piece by three college-level percussionists will show that much music can be coaxed from very few instruments. - John R.

Anthony Cirone's Symphony #3 (in four movements) for percussion sextet is scored for bells, xylophone, vibraphone, marimba, four toms, suspended cymbal, triangle, four timpani, chimes and four RotoToms. It is based upon several parts of the traditional Mass, with corresponding orchestration approaches. The slow first movement ("Lord Have Mercy") is based upon a haunting four-note motive. The second movement ("Glory Be To God") is a spirited 3/4 piece that includes a marimba cadenza. The third movement ("Holy, Holy, Holy") is a dense, angular work featuring unusual sonorities and rhythmic phrases. The fourth movement ("Lamb of God") is a slow chorale accompanied by a regal timpani statement. The vibist is required to use four mallets and several parts make use of quintuplets and sextuplets. The writing is excellent and of the Manhattan Marimba Quartet and Marimolin. In this unusual work--a trio scored for two cowbells, two drums, and one temple block--Levitan works with a two-bar rhythmic theme to build an exciting piece that displays his penchant for creating subtle rhythmic effects through the manipulation of accents and rests. A good performance of this piece by three college-level percussionists will show that much music can be coaxed from very few instruments. - John R. Raush, August 1995[1]
