CRESCENDO for Percussion Ensemble is written for eleven players and, as the title implies, is a gradual crescendo from an almost inaudible beginning to a fortississimo (FFFF!). There is also a bit of theatre involved in that the players assemble in a dark auditorium with Player I beginning from candlelight. The remaining players play occasional high bell sounds until their individual entrances. The lights gradually come up as the volume increases. The set-up may be done either from a stage or surrounding the audience. The work is an interesting and exciting rhythmic study, consisting primarily of rhythmic ostinati in short two and four measure patterns. A good high school or college level ensemble could perform this work which is scored for congas, two drum sets, six timpani, tom toms, cymbals, cowbells, and "large gong." - Gary Olmstead, Spring Summer 1978[1]
