Beating a drum is fun. Beating a big drum is even more fun. Being a soloist and beating a bass drum is best of all.

In 'Big Fun on the Bass Drum' the dream of every starter percussionist is realized.
He/she is soloist and is allowed to really beat the drum hard without the conductor putting a stop to it, but beware: a new skin is rather expensive.

'Big Fun on the Bass Drum' is not only about hitting as hard as you can, though.
A lot of attention is paid to playing the bass drum very softly. And what is more, the composer has found room to offer the soloist a real cadenza - at this point in the composition he/she can either play the partprescribed or give the audience an improvisation of his/her own.

Slaan op een trom is leuk. Slaan op een grote trom is nog leuker, maar 'top of the bill' is solist zijn op een grote trom!

In Big fun on the Bass Drum komt de droom van elke beginnende slagwerker uit.
Hij/zij mag zo hardals mogelijk slaan, zonder 'lastig'te worden gevallen door een dirigent, maar let op: een nieuw vel is duur!
Maar er wordt niet alleen aandacht besteed aan hard meppen in Big Fun on the Bass Drum, ook de zachte passages krijgenruim aandacht.
Verder laat componist William Vean ruimte voor de solist(e) zijn/haar kunnen te tonen in een heuse cadens!

In 1868 William Francis Allen published a collection of spirituals, songs sung by slaves whilst they worked. This book started a flood of enthusiasm for the spiritual which continues to this day. Jubilation (a time for celebration) uses the spiritual 'My Lord, What A Morning' as the main melody for transitions and modulations throughout and to introduce three further spirituals: I'm Gonna Sing, Steal Away and Ev'ry Time I Feel the Spirit.
