Three Pieces for Five Timpani

Three Pieces for Five Timpani

Solo Timpani

Composer's Note:

“Three Pieces for Five Timpani” was composed to continue along the path that Elliott Carter paved with his book of solos “Eight Pieces for Four Timpani”.

Composed from 2010 - 2015, Three Pieces for Five Timpani, was written as part of a co-commission from 3 Arts Chicago and Roosevelt University. The commissioning project, titled “The New American Timpani,” included a book of solos, a percussion quartet and a timpani concerto.

Each solo was written with a different style and feel. The solos embrace rock music, marches and classical styles. Although each solo has different tuning, they all share the home base of E-natural. In order to compose three distinct and interesting pieces with only five tones, each piece revolves around a rhythmic theme.

These solos are dedicated to my mentor and former teacher Ed Harrison.
