Description
The Invisible Proverb, a four-movement work for five percussionists by Russell Hartenberger is featured on the latest NEXUS CD, Drumtalker. Throughout the composition Russell Hartenberger uses elements of talking drum styles and the rhythm patterns of West African drumming ensembles. The first and third movements use atenteben flute melodies from Ghana and elements of horn ensembles of Central Africa. The fourth movement, Sky Ghost, can stand alone and is based on some of the musical material from the song Small Sky by Toru Takemitsu.
