Prelude and Episode by Ken Shorley

At times subtle, at times highly rhythmic, this is a unique and challenging duo in two movements: Prelude, for Frame Drum and Gong; and Episode, for Frame Drum and Darabuka. This piece calls for a variety of performance techniques and some prior familiarity with basic hand drum performance practice would be an asset, when approaching this piece – although all strokes/techniques are explained in the accompanying descriptive notes.A unique addition to any advanced level recital!
