Description
Inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic book Treasure Island, John Herndon brings us Mutiny! — a seaworthy tale of adventure for young percussionists. Mutiny! is equal parts drum and keyboard-driven, scored so that the twelve players remain active throughout. Set to a moderate tempo, Herndon employs eighth-note triplets and occasional quarter-note triplets to conjure the iconic seagoing feel, making the work a solid study on these rhythms in a fun context. And at right around three minutes in length, the piece will make for an exciting closer in your next concert.
