	== Program Notes ==		== Program Notes ==
			Revelations for percussion orchestra and snare drum soloist combines diverse compositional concepts into an ever-changing tapestry of rhythm and color. Based on concepts of serial composition applied to both pitch and rhythm, the piece takes a relatively disparate combination of 10 pitches divided into 3 groups and over a relentlessly growing pulse “reveals” aspects unique both rhythmically and harmonically. Divided into 10 sections, Revelations begins with the full statement of the 10-note theme and then devolves into disparate individual “journeys,” each highlighting the incredible variety of possible timbres and effects available to both snare drum and the family of percussion instruments in general. Two cadenzas highlight the soloist utilizing everything from hands to the widest variety of implements, including brushes, timpani mallets, and rutes. Each of the 10 sections features a part of the serial pitches insistently growing as the elements seek to become one singular idea. Rhythmically each section offers diversity and creative spirit until the final section unites all the elements into one final rush to redemption of the conflictual energy building throughout. Originally composed on the footprint of Bartók’s “Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion,” Revelations for percussion orchestra and soloist was commissioned by Jesus Martinez and premiered at the South Grand Prairie 2024 PASIC Showcase Concert.
