Program Notes
Concert Piece for Timpani & Percussion Ensemble by Allen Houston is a 7 player percussion ensemble that features a solo timpanist. This piece builds a lot of tension from the get go, and is filled with numerous interjections from the timpani with blazing runs and pedal changes. This piece would be very impressive at your next concert and is a great way to show off a super star timpani player, while still having room for other percussionists to shine.
