About the composition
About the composition
This three-part work was commissioned by the Appingedam youth percussion ensemble for competition participation.
The work starts with a driven 7/8 groove that sounds cinematic. During the second (middle) part there is room for rest in the form of a solemn chorale with vibraphone solo. And finally a swinging third part with African rhythms and untuned solos.
This builds to a rousing ending in which the theme from the first movement returns.
