Original Compositions Amber Samba A percussion ensemble work for six players, scored for samba instruments or traditional classical percussion instruments. Aquila An outstanding work for 11-piece percussion ensemble. The piece takes its name from a constellation lying in the milky way on the celestial equator. The piece reflects this with styles of music from both above and below the equator. Rituelle Coming soon... A contemporary percussion duet for a range of instruments including marimba, vibraphone and toms. Originally written for a collaboration with a community dance group, the work was designed to combine live music and contemporary dance. Equally effective as a music-only performance. |
