Program Notes

Written for eight percussionists, of intermediate to beginning skill levels, and based on a techno groove, this will be a hit with both students and audiences alike. Some parts, throughout this four-minute piece, are written to feature more advanced players, while other parts are more elementary for less experienced players.
