== Program Notes ==

=== Review ===
Anthony Cirone's Symphony #3 (in four movements) for percussion sextet is scored for bells, xylophone, vibraphone, marimba, four toms, suspended cymbal, triangle, four timpani, chimes and four RotoToms. It is based upon several parts of the traditional Mass, with corresponding orchestration approaches. The slow first movement ("Lord Have Mercy") is based upon a haunting four-note motive. The second movement ("Glory Be To God") is a spirited 3/4 piece that includes a marimba cadenza. The third movement ("Holy, Holy, Holy") is a dense, angular work featuring unusual sonorities and rhythmic phrases. The fourth movement ("Lamb of God") is a slow chorale accompanied by a regal timpani statement. The vibist is required to use four mallets and several parts make use of quintuplets and sextuplets. The writing is excellent and of the Manhattan Marimba Quartet and Marimolin. In this unusual work--a trio scored for two cowbells, two drums, and one temple block--Levitan works with a two-bar rhythmic theme to build an exciting piece that displays his penchant for creating subtle rhythmic effects through the manipulation of accents and rests. A good performance of this piece by three college-level percussionists will show that much music can be coaxed from very few instruments. - John R. Raush, August 1995<ref>[http://www.pas.org PAS.ORG]</ref>

== Program Notes ==

=== Review ===
This extended, three movement work for Percussion octet is marked advanced by the publisher and is scored for orchestra bells, xylophone and various standard orchestral percussion instruments (including 4 timpani). The two keyboard percussion parts include single-line writing, some double. stops, rolls and glisses, but no mallet suggestions. The cymbal and small concert percussion parts contain straight-forward writing with detailed performance directions and mallet choices. The drum parts are also straightforward and contain single-stoke writing with some rolls and flams with few Performance directions. The lead snare drum part is the most difficult of these parts. The .timpani part is difficult note-wise, but requires no pedal technique during each movement, with tuning changes occurring only between movements. Movement I (Presto) is written in 2/4 and 3/8, both sectionally and as changing meters. The 2 keyboard percussion parts seem to have the main thematic content with rhythmic counterpoint and accompaniment provided by the other instruments. (Adagio molto) is written in 5/4, again with the keyboard percussion instruments the main thematic matierals. Sustained sounds and rolls, punctuating rhythmic outbursts, hocket-like sections and pointillistic passages highlight the movement. Movement III (Allegro vivo) is written mostly in 4/4 and 2/2. A middle section starting in 8/8-with changes 7/8, 5/8, 2/8, 4/8, 3/4, 6/8, 4/4-leads to an extended timpani cadenza. The whole of the movement is very drummy, with the timpani being the dominant instrument much of the time. A section with several irregular-length ostinatos is of special interest. Suitable as an example of an extended work is symphonic form for standard instruments. The piece does not rely on gimmicks, unusual performance practics, exotic instruments, etc. Would serve nicely as the focus of a semester's work for a good high school ensemble, or as the main feature of a younger university percussion ensemble concert. - John Baldwin, December 1992<ref>[http://www.pas.org PAS.ORG]</ref>
