Peter Maxwell Davies: Three Studies For Percussion: Tuned Percussion: Study
This item is not available anymore with the seller Musicroom
Format : Sheet music This is effectively a work in three movements - Allegro Andante cantabile and Presto - which Davies likens to 'three obstacle courses bristling with technical difficulties'. However as he goes on to say 'young people arenaturally gifted with extraordinary rhythmic skills which normally remain untapped'. Given the opportunity older children have here the material for a highly arresting piece of music-making. Scoring also includes a small woodblock a small temple block and a small suspended cymbal. The xylophones are one each of the following: concert soprano alto and bass. The two glockenspiels are soprano and alto and the metallophones are bass and deep bass (avibraphone may be used instead of the latter). These studies will provide a challenge to all percussionists for whom there is a distinct shortage of suitable studies. Duration c. 5mins.
