Percussion SKU: HL.48023992
For Percussion (Performance Score). Composed by Bernd Richard Deutsch. Boosey & Hawkes Chamber Music. Classical. Softcover. 12 pages. Bote & Bock #M202533789. Published by Bote & Bock (HL.48023992). Ictus is a fast percussion ostinato; the continuous movement in changing metres, often with strong dynamic contrasts in the smallest of spaces, is divided among the instruments. The combination of tom-toms and bass drum forms a kind of ritornello. Now and then, cowbells, wood blocks, temple blocks and bongos are added in a complex compartmentalized sequence. The piece ends in a crescendoing improvisation on all instruments.
