Program Notes
Just as the name implies, this work for early percussion ensemble is a peaceful and memorable tune that features the mallet instruments and provides optional percussion parts to round out the ensemble. Utilizing common chord and sticking patterns, Zen Garden is a piece that can be easily learned by the ensemble, but still has a full, complex sound.
