Brief Review

This piece has a strict form but, in most other respects, is indeterminate. Any performance of this piece, in effect, is co-composed by myself and the people who perform it.

The piece should be approachable by any percussionists who can simultaneously count and follow basic performance instructions...hmm...ages 16 and up perhaps? (Or 8 and up...if you're more optimistic than I.)

Additional Information

I have written this piece for the new percussion ensemble at Keyano College where I teach. I have written the piece specifically for the following reasons:

  • Because I do not know how many percussionists will enrol in the ensemble and therefore I must have music available for a variable number of performers.
  • Because the students who register in the ensemble will have widely different skills (from beginner to advanced).
  • Because I want the players to be involved in the composition and therefore have ownership of the performance.
  • Because I want the students to experience the wonders of indeterminacy and hear rhythms they've never heard before.

The title of the piece is derived from a few words by Mr. John Cage. Thanks to Mr. Kohler for posting them online.
