Three Drum Quartets from
Earth
and the Great Weather
These three pieces are drawn from Earth and the Great Weather, an evening-length "sonic geography.. of the Arctic. Although purely "abstract" in form, it is my hope that they are in some small measure informed by the elemental power of natural forces in the Arctic, and by the ecstatic power of Iiiupiat Eskimo drumming and dancing.
The total performance duration of all three quartets is about 25:30.
Percussion I: Percussion II: Percussion Ill: Percussion IV:
three high tom-toms (graduated) three medium tom-toms (graduated) bass drum, low tom-tom bass drum, very low tom-tom
