Asian Symmetries                                                                      by Dan Heslink

Asian Symmetries is a fanciful work which draws loosely from the musical procedures and sonic preferences of Indonesian and other Asian musical styles.  It is scored for three percussionists, each with their own battery of instruments. Gamelan-like impressions might be inferred from the cyclical nature of its rhythm, using metal plates like cymbals and gongs to mark large units of rhythmic time. Also evocative are the faster moving elaborations and a preponderance of metallophones in the instrumentation.

 

The work is medium to difficult in its demands. There are quick changes of instrument, planned to be manageable but requiring some attention to logistics  Each player’s performance station must remain stationary, with all instruments in reach without moving the performer’s position. Percussion I and Percussion III players must set up next to each other so that they may share the tenor drum. A selection of mallets that allows different striking surfaces to sound good without undue picking up and setting down of mallets is suggested.

 

Changes of meter and tempo occur, and an odd meter section sporting measures in 12/8, 6/8, 11/8 may require some additional attention. The instrumentation is selected to approximate Asian sounds with common western instruments. Performance time is 6:28. The composer, Dan Heslink, can be reached at dan@dheslink.com.

Are you searching for something different for your percussion ensemble? Do you not have enough players to utilize keyboard percussion? Have you ever wanted to do something with narrator, but haven't had the chance? Well, I've got a piece for you! This piece is for four percussionists and a single narrator. The sound hearkens back to the beatnik poets of the 1960s! This is an exploration of sound for your percussionists, which allows them to use varied instruments from the snare drum to flower pots! I hope you enjoy Ambrosian Wish for percussion ensemble and narrator.

This is an arrangement for 7 player handbells. Note that the song is played one octave above written. By writing it this way, it removes the need to read a lot of ledger lines of the top parts. The first measure is the notes for the bells. They should choose bells one octave above those. The rhythms are simplified to make it possible to play on handbells. The parts with 3 and 4 bells can be split between 2 players each if needed. Tempo should be Electro Pop, which is around 126.

Composed by Cody Weinmann. Dance,Film/TV,Pop,Video Game. Score and parts. 4 pages. Cody Weinmann #6138201. Published by Cody Weinmann (A0.835168).

This is an original piece for mixed ensemble. It has piano, guitars, strings, percussion, and more! Why is it called Blue Drive? I have synesthesia -- the ability to see colors when hearing pitches. I know, it sounds weird, but I see the color blue when I see the note G. But anyway, this piece was inspired by an ad I heard on TV. I was wondering if I could compose something similar to what I heard. This is what came out. Hopefully, you all benefit from this music. This is good for small ensembles that are of many different instruments. Go ahead and do a virtual concert of this. It would be great! It has a great driving rhythm that could get your heart pumping.

Kaos is an original composition by Giuseppe Mazzamuto vibraphonist and composer from Palermo. The composition for six percussionists tells the battle of Kiev, the largest battle in history, as well as one of the largest in the Second World War. The scream performed by the percussionists tells of the clash that took place in 1941 between August and September during the early stages of the conflict between the Third Reich and the USSR. It was the Russians who capitulated, whose dead make up most of the 700,000 who remained in the field, letting the Germans penetrate the plains of Ukraine.
