365体育投注_365体育备用网址@ Percussion Ensemble: historical journey

The 365体育投注_365体育备用网址@ Percussion Ensemble will take a historical journey from traditional drumming with fifes up to the most contemporary sounds.

Program

? Traditional fife & drum tunes: "The Three Camps" and "The Downfall of Paris"
? Adagio from Saint-Saens Symphony No. 3
? Toccata for Percussion by Carloz Chavez
? Three Poems for Five Brake Drums and Narrator by Stuart Saunders Smith
? Stained Glass by David Gillingham

The ensemble is a chamber group that performs music specifically written for the percussion ensemble from 1930 to the present. Dr. Tony Oliver directs the ensemble.

The ensemble’s concerts present a mix of musical styles — from light to serious to “out there” — and participants play traditional and non-traditional percussion instruments of all kinds. The group serves as a place of additional training for the percussionists in 365体育投注_365体育备用网址@’s larger ensembles, and as a percussive outlet to anyone on campus interested in percussion or percussion music.
