			==Review==
			If you are looking for a large ensemble that can be performed by players of all different ability levels, “Undisclosed” may very well fit the bill. In an homage to [[Michael Colgrass]]’s “Three Brothers, ” [[Chad Heiny]] composed a piece that is sure to excite audiences and ensembles alike.

			The piece begins with a ppp [[snare drum]] roll and maracas swirling at the same soft dynamic level; these two parts will definitely require more skill than others. [[Chad Heiny]]’s extensive marching experience is evident, having a bit of a front ensemble sound at times, but he blends it well with “traditional” percussion ensemble nuance and instrumentation, a further nod to [[Michael Colgrass]]. The piece is through composed, but uses the opening rhythmic motive (and the ppp rolls and swirls mentioned earlier) to conclude the piece.

			Oftentimes composers, especially in ensemble music written in the last 20 years, are not clear enough in writing their vision for the music. [[Chad Heiny]]’s writing and musical notation are extremely PERCUSSIVE NOTES 64 MARCH 2014 clear and concise. In fact, he gives excellent direction to the sound that he envisions by using specific instructions like “fist” for the tambourine part, “swirl” for the maracas, and “ride (bell) ” for the [[cymbal]] part. A high school or young college ensemble would benefit greatly from the technical and musical challenges provided in this composition.
