Description
This work for eight percussionists is designed to be performed with whatever unpitched instruments are available, with many possibilities:
Choices of instruments: the eight players each choose three instruments (low, medium, high). Within each pair of players, for example Small Drums 1 & 2, the first should choose generally higher-pitched instruments than the second, but some overlap between the two is expected.
Players I & II/Small Drums 1 & 2: these should be some combination of bongos, timbales, and/or very small tom-toms.
Players III & IV/Wood Instruments 1 & 2: these should be chosen from wood blocks, temple blocks, and/or log drum.
Players V & VI/Metal Instruments 1 & 2: recommended choices include cowbells, almglocken, metal plates, even inexpensive non-stick cookware.
Players VII & VIII/Large Drums 1 & 2: these may include larger tom-toms, tenor drum, congas, small bass drum.
