An air of mystery and suspense will fi ll the rehearsal and performancehall during the opening of The Siege of Badon Hill. With the innovative use of voiceand sound, the introduction of the piece develops into a rich and dark majesty.The rhythmic ostinato of the allegro con brio creates a sense of drive and purposethat leads into a variety of rhythmic and syncopated melodic fi gures that will be sureto keep every member of the ensemble engaged in the piece right up to the fi nalchords. The percussion score is written to play a vital role in the fabric of the piece andis certain to keep percussionists involved in both rehearsal and performance.The combination of contemporary themes and traditional sonorities makes TheSiege of Badon Hill a perfect choice for both concert and contest.
