Program Notes
The idea of composing a set of canons for percussion dates from the 1960s, but its fulfillment in the Suite for Percussion waited for the commission from the Grupo de Percussão do Instituto de Artes do Planalto (UNESP) via director John E. Boulder, of São Paula, Brazil, in October of 1983. The work proceeded quickly and the score was completer in June of 1984.
The eight canons of the Suite are in mirror image. The outside movements are substantial pieces with large sound and forthright rhythms, while the interior movements are shorter and present a variety of types and effects. The second and seventh are genial and good-natured; the third and sixth are slow, stretching movements; the fourth and fifth are a pair of occasional pieces s--a dance based on the tresillo pattern, and a lullaby. The mirror structure is supported by a number of thematic exchanges.
The work as a whole is dominated by an increasing tension: the opening presents a canon at twenty beats (five measures), and each canon is at narrower times, to two measures, a measure and a half, one measure, and so forth. The Suite culminates in a rousing March whose canon is at one beat. [1]
