Program Notes
Review
Five players are required for this interesting ensemble, with each player using at least a dozen instruments. It appears that this work was designed to be used as a percussion demonstration piece for young people. (There is a direction in the score for starting the piece, "audience at a youth concert yells "start!", percussion yells "O.K.") However, the piece would not necessarily be limited to that format. Sections of the work feature different percussion instrument groupings, i.e., mallet keyboards, membranes, non-pitched wooden and metallic instruments. This is a fast-paced, wild, fun piece, with theatrical elements thrown in. - Al Payson, Fall 1978[1]
