Experie
nce 'rush-hour rock' like
you've never experienced
before! This
easy-grooving,
well-crafted original
derives its automotive
charm from the various
car horn effects played
throughout. Various
novelty percussion
instruments such as the
police whistle and bulb
horn will car pool your
audience from the concert
hall to the expressway. A
charming piece that will
put a smile on everyone's
face, even if they get
stuck in traffic on the
way home from the
concert!
Traffic
Jam represents my idea of
rush hour rock. This work
derives its automotive
charm from the various
car horn effects played
throughout. The most
important articulation in
the work is the marcato
accent. Whenever this
articulation appears, a
car horn is being honked.
Each honk should be
percussive and short.
Although the honks are
dissonant, their
composite notes should be
balanced. It is
recommended that the
various honks be isolated
during rehearsal, so that
just the right sound and
feel is achieved. Other
important sounds include
the police whistle and
bulb horn. These novelty
instruments should be
held high for the
audience to see and hear.
With over 4 million miles
of roads in the United
States, one is destined
to experience automotive
gridlock. So before
giving into road rage,
roll down the windows,
turn on the radio, and
enjoy a traffic
jam!
Score only. Full
set (score and parts)
