Zarabanda (pno red) by Joseph Turrin

Zarabanda is in several sections with a Latin style rhythm that occasionally gets interrupted by accented outbursts from the ensemble. As the piece develops and moves from section to section, new rhythmic and melodic ideas are introduced. The piece culminates with a bravura mallet cadenza and an optional cadenza, which calls for the additional skills of playing the timbales, bongos, tom-toms, and conga drum.
