The Concerto For Percussion (Op. 73) was written specially for Philips Records in 1968 and first appeared on a record issued in 1969. It has since been used several times as ballet music. It is scored for fourunaccompanied Percussion instruments with a set of parts available here. The conductor and composer Leonard Salzedo (1921-2000) was born in London and studied at the Royal College of Music with Herbert Howells. Aswell as conducting a wide range of Ballet companies he also wrote the music for several Ballets and Film scores but he is probably best remembered for his chamber music.
