Instrumentation
Player 1 (Tambourine, Triangle, Snare Drum)
Player 2 (Tambourine, Triangle, Snare Drum)
Daiki Kato’s new work features three sections based on the same rhythmic motif. The first section has the performers playing two tambourines, the second playing triangles, and the final section playing snare drums. The rhythms used in each section are fairly simple, with a little syncopation added. The music requires a good grasp of rolls on all three instruments, as well as open and closed triangle technique. Performers will need to pay careful attention to instrument selection, allowing the audience to hear the difference between the paired instruments. The piece also requires a good sense of time and communication in regard to rhythms and balance.
Kato has offered a wonderful intermediate duet for younger college or high school musicians. This would be a great piece to include on an undergraduate recital or percussion ensemble concert that will be enjoyed by performers and audience alike.
