Description

Three Interludes is a collection of pieces which are meant to explore the rhythmic and timbral possibilities found in standard percussion instruments. These challenging pieces are great for intermediate and advanced students to showcase their chamber music skills in any performance environment.

Program Notes
Three Interludes for percussion quintet was written during the summer of 2022 while visiting my wife’s family in Kenya. My goal for this work was to create a collection of pieces that could be used to showcase the different rhythmic and timbral possibilities found in often overlooked instruments. They are not meant to be performed as a whole work but as individual pieces. They can be used as transition pieces between larger set changes or as standalone works on a concert program.
