Synopsis

Commissioned by percussionist Matt Centanni.

This is the fifth piece in my Elegies series, pieces written to honor composers who have most heavily influenced my work.

Instrumentation: Nipple Gong, 2 Bongos, 6 Tom-tom, Large Metal Washtub, Medium Bass Drum w/ Kick Pedal, and Large Bass Drum

This work is in three movements: the first is a polyrhythmic exercise for the percussionist; the second, the Elegy, soft and contemplative; the third is a recapitulation of the first movement.
