Program Notes Habanera rítmico was written for the percussion quartet, Schlaginstrumentengruppe, for their performances during the Kansas City Fringe Festival on July 30th, 2005. It is part of a four movement work in which the ensemble commissioned four composers to each contribute a movement with each member of the quartet acting as a soloist for one movement. Habanera rítmico is based on the Habanera rhythm of Cuban dance. While the cajon (the solo instrument) is a Latin instrument, other ethnic instruments like the African caxixi, and Asian-influenced cymbals create an energetic, international palette. Premiere Notes Habanera rítmico was first performed by Sam Wisman, soloist and Brett Baxter, Jim Clanton, and Bill Solomon, percussion. The premiere took place in an outdoor tent in front of Crown Center (downtown Kansas City, Missouri) on July 30th, 2005 during the First Annual Kansas City Fringe Festival. Other composers involved with the project include Jocelyn Ho, William J. Lackey, and Christopher Levin. Performance Notes The conga used should be pitched higher than the high tom-tom used and lower than the low bongo used. The muffled cymbals after RM 6 should be muffled with a towel or with a hand.
