Snare Drum Compositions Volume I by Jonathan Curtis

This collection of snare drum solos were composed as part of an Arts Council England collaboration. They explore concepts of mathematical principles, systemic and process-based arrangements, and Hindu chanting practices as compositional tools.

This beautiful collection includes extensive composition and performance notes, and clear and accurate notation.

Each piece features unique and challenging contemporary vocabulary, drawing on rudimental, orchestral, and French drumming repertoire, as well as presenting original and unique phrasing.

These pieces are challenging, exciting, and compositionally interesting. Each piece can be purchased individually, or as part of this collection.
