Cycle is written for and dedicated to Lee Vinson, whose musicianship and artistic insight I greatly admire. Lee has a vast, comprehensive, and fascinating collection of antique and refurbished snare drums, each with a strong, distinctive personality. I wanted to write a piece that pays tribute to several drums from Lee’s collection that stand out to him, so I asked him to choose a group of drums to be featured in the work. Lee then sent me a demonstration of each drum’s characteristics and attributes – there are four in total. Each instrument was so vibrant and unique that I wanted to create a work that had an almost theatric component, so that the individual drums would almost be treated as characters.


Cycle is comprised of three acts, each of which contain two movements – one interlude for multiple drums and one solo for a featured drum. The idea of each act is to have the featured solo drum fight its way out of different rigid textures of the multiple drum interludes. I tried to strategize ways of freeing each of these drums in ways that complement their personalities. Consequently, the title of each interlude refers to the method each of the solo drums uses to free itself and the title of each solo refers to the way each of the solo drums chooses to express itself once it’s free.
