e instrumentation for Alaskan Landscapes is quite free. Each percussionist requires one item from each of three categories: 1 ) ings you can hit snare drum, wood block, claves, tenor drum, cowbell etc. 2) ings you can shake egg shaker, maracas, tambourine etc. 3) ings you can snap dry twig, carrot, dry spaghetti etc. It is preferable for each player to have three unique items if possible. Each player uses a copy of this performance score, standing surrounding the audience. It may be helpful to designate one player to be the leader. As players will be stood quite far from one another and some sounds will be very quiet, clear communication is essential. It may also be helpful to each have a watch or silent metronome from which one's individual tempo in III.i can be derived.
In the summer of 201 9 I attended Composing in the Wilderness in Alaska. We explored Denali National Park, learning about its history and ecosystems while admiring stunning vistas and invigorating mountain hikes. Alaskan Landscapes draws from these experiences in nature, capturing moments of peace and beauty.
Duration approx. 7'30"
