Chamber Music Percussion Quartet SKU: PO.PE010P
Composed by Gareth Farr. Folio. Parts. Composed 1997. Promethean Editions #PE010P. Published by Promethean Editions (PO.PE010P). Perfect for percussion quartets seeking to add energy and theatricality to their repertoire, Volume Pig (1992) places Farr's sense of humour alongside his formidable sense of rhythm. Dedicated to New Zealand percussion master Murray Hickman and premiered by Hickman's STRIKE Percussion ensemble, Volume Pig shifts unpredictably between overwhelming noise and barely audible whispers, its intricate textures peppered with wild shrieks, grunts and howls.
