Moores School Percussion Ensemble The Moores School Percussion Ensemble serves as the cornerstone of the Department of Percussion Studies at the University of Houston. Established by Blake Wilkins in 1997, the ensemble’s selection as a winner in the 2003, 2006 and 2010 Percussive Arts Society Percussion Ensemble Competitions and its appearance at the Percussive Arts Society International Conventions established its reputation internationally as a leader in percussion performance.

The ensemble has also emerged as a leader in the promotion and performance of new music. Since 1997, the ensemble has given the world and U.S. premieres of numerous new works. Additionally, in fall 2002, the Moores School Percussion Ensemble initiated a New Works Project to encourage new compositions for large percussion ensemble. To date, the project has resulted in sixteen new works for large percussion ensemble by such composers as Donald Grantham, Pierre Jalbert, David Crumb, David Heuser, and UH faculty composers Rob Smith and Marcus Maroney. The ensemble has also recorded three critically acclaimed commercial CDs on the Albany Records Label. Surge was released in early 2006, Not Here But There followed in 2009, and Everywhere Entangled was released in 2011.

Our program currently offers two concert percussion ensembles—MSPE I is directed by Blake Wilkins and MSPE II by Professor Alec Warren—and includes The PANtagonists Steel Drum Band.

A Doll’s House Story

by István Márta

A Doll’s House Story (1985) renders in music the events of a tragic revolution of a few minutes’ duration. The revolution broke out overnight in the toy department of a store. There did not seem to be any rhyme or reason to it, and indeed, it erupted over a petty affair - it appears to be petty in hindsight anyway. The toys (plastic dolls, tin soldiers, bicycled regiments, intrepid civilians, undercover chimney sweeps, smart police officers, clowns, dwarfs and giants) engaged in pitched battle of unprecedented cruelty. The fragmentary reports that have come down to us allow the reconstruction of but a few aspects of those events albeit rather important ones. I have discovered, for instance, that the very first minute of the revolution claimed nine lives (among them that of a Pierrot, a Columbine and a heroic Harlequin). Within the next five minutes, six more deaths occurred, all victims of base instincts running amok. The appearance of a night watchman put a temporary stop to the events, but fighting continued with even more bitterness once the torchlight had been switched off. The streets were overrun by ambulances with their shrieking sirens, tanks firing shells and other military vehicles and soon there was silence. The presence of mechanized troops did its work: the rebels and fighters withdrew into their homes. The dead silence was only occasionally disturbed by the fumbling of a doll, groping cautiously in the dark for its lost limbs or head. In the morning, the shop assistants, tired and sleepy after a short night’s rest, were incredulously taking in the mess, looking in vain for signs of burglary or theft. Later, in the course of the morning, a tiny wind-up guillotine swung into action but nobody took any notice.

Music for Percussion Quartet

by David Crowell

This music is an abstract representation of the radically different environments I’ve lived in, and experienced while traveling. From numerous bustling city centers to near isolation in the natural world, I’ve always felt a bit bi-polar and somewhat confused about what makes for a good place to live. As a current resident of New York City, I’m amazed and inspired by the level of innovative artistry, which I need and crave for my creative work, yet dismayed by the pollution, trash, and over all low quality of life that often accompanies living in a huge urban environment. As a former resident of Alaska, where I still spend at least a month every year, the beauty and grandeur of the place is overwhelming, deeply satisfying, and yet sometimes lacking in creative stimulation. Starting with the urban, the 1st and 3rd movements, “Fluctuation” and “Oscillation,” both utilize polyrhythms - multiple rhythms moving independently - throughout. And yet, all polyrhythms eventually come together, if only briefly, unable to exist without their relationship to one other - you can’t have a polyrhythm if there isn’t another rhythm to compare it to. All the parts and instruments in these movements are vitally interconnected at their core, even as the music may sound crazy and disjointed at times. This simultaneous independent/codependent polyrhythmic concept draws an interesting parallel to the complex human movement of a crowded urban setting. As a frequent biker/walker and sometimes car driver in New York, there exists an intricate dance of individual agendas and varying rates of movement, differing levels of calm and high pitched anxiety; all coming together to avoid car wrecks and injured pedestrians or bicyclists (hopefully!) It can be quite an amazing thing to witness, if you are aware of it. “Sky People” and “Landscape,” on the other hand, come from the meditative calm of open spaces, environmentally pure places which appeal to some ancient part of our DNA that remembers what it was like to live in close relationship with the land. There’s a spiritual element to this kind of life, or at least the modern approximation of it, which is inexpressibly satisfying. The calm and spacious nature of these movements is not suggesting the natural world is without darkness - anyone who has lived in an environment like Alaska understands the dangers it presents. But experiencing your smallness, your insignificance in the face of a landscape that doesn’t particularly care what happens to you, paradoxically turns out to be a huge existential relief. It offers the opportunity to put aside at least a bit of your ego, and experience the wonders of life while you still have it.

Decay No. 1

by Matt Curlee

Decay No. 1 for percussion quintet is a part of the Histories project, a continuing set of collaborations with physicist Regina Demina exploring the fundamental narratives, at various scales, that make up our reality.

The word “decay” usually has a negative connotation when used to refer to everyday things, places, and situations. But in the natural world, including the sonic realm, decay is a process of great creative power and transformation, one that challenges our conception of order and chaos, of structure and disintegration, and even the condemnation implicit in how we habitually use the word. Commissioned and premiered by the Eastman Percussion Ensemble.

Duo Chopinesque

by Michael Hennagin

Duo Chopinesque by Michael Hennagin is based on the E minor keyboard prelude of Chopin (Op. 28, no. 4). This composition, however, is not simply an arrangement but is rather a total recomposition and recasting of the structural underpinnings and dramatic shape of the original. Pitch material in the form of two rows (one ten notes; the other nine) has been derived from the right hand melodic line of the piano piece; each row receiving several transpositions. A rhythmic matrix has been constructed from the harmonic rhythm of the Chopin.

During the introductory section, the opening melodic motive of the original (an ascending dominant octave) is presented in the marimba against an increasingly active series of background flickers. After a short pause, the piece finally gets underway by stating the beginning few measures of the chromatic-slippage harmonic progressions before being briefly interrupted by the background material. A second attempt to begin is initiated quickly followed by another interruption. This alternation of quoted material with intrusions continues, as echoes of the primary ideas often emerge in the “accompaniment.” The second half of the Chopin original is similarly explored with an eventual quite tumultuous climax achieved—after which the opening tune slowly reemerges, dissolves, and then leads to an authentic cadence with a tonic commentary (i.e. the pitch “e”) popping up in many different registers seemingly bringing the piece to its end. However, a rhythmically augmented version of the opening dominant octave is faintly stated by the bells during the final measures and tantalizingly suggests a kind of circular return to the beginning as if the piece were starting up all over again. An abrupt, surprising, and short outburst, however, nips the possibility in the bud and brings a final and convincing closure.

Throughout the composition an intriguing reversal of the two elements is effected as foreground and background roles are gradually interchanged. The Chopin quotes—and almost all the original is represented at one time or another—predominate at first but later are quite literally obliterated by competing ideas which attempt to steer the music, with considerable resistance, into new and different directions—and realms of expression. The aesthetic result is powerful and haunting and slightly reminiscent of George Crumb’s “Dream Images (Love-Death Music)” from Makrokosmos, Vol. I for amplified piano, in which the Chopin FantasieImpromptu in Db major is quoted—although in a manner somewhat different from Hennagin’s approach—as the intrusion to and counterpoint against other material.

Duo Chopinesque was commissioned and premiered by the University of Oklahoma Percussion Orchestra, Dr. Richard C. Gipson, Conductor. PASIC `85, November 15, 1985, Los Angeles, CA, Dr. Gipson, conducting.

Chameleon Music

by Dan Welcher

Chameleon Music, composed for ten percussionists by Dan Welcher, is based on a short story by Truman Capote, entitled Music for Chameleons. Welcher writes: “More a vignette about a person and a place than an actual story, the piece describes a visit by Capote to Martinique, and the home of a woman there. She lives on the edge of the jungle, and had on her terrace a grand piano that had been played by a number of famous visitors. The music she played for Capote was Mozart, and the result of the little recital was the inspiration for my Piece. It seemed that the little lizards living nearby had become accustomed to her playing and had grown to be quite discerning in their taste. The composer they responded most to was Mozart whenever she would play a sonata of his, the chameleons came out in droves from the jungle. They would sneak tentatively forward at first, then (emboldened by Wolfgang?) come right up to lie at her feet while she played. When she finished, she’d stamp her feet on the tiles, and the lizards would ‘scatter, like the shower of sparks from an exploding star.’

The music describes this scene, but more than that. It attempts to show in a rather abstract fashion how music Mozart’s music, specifically can cast a spell over otherwise uncivilized beings. The piece has four subtitled sections: ‘The Jungle at Night,’ ‘The Chameleon Circle,’ ‘The Spell,’ and ‘The Retreat.’ In the first section, marimbas provide a chordal curtain of sound, with four kinds of wind chimes adding a scent of the tropics.

After the atmosphere of the place has been established, the second section proceeds immediately. ‘The Chameleon Circle’ presents the cast of characters, in the form of three different motives (played on xylophone, glockenspiel, and bass marimba respectively). These could be thought of as some of the chameleons waiting at the edge of the jungle but they carry within themselves the seeds of the music of their ‘favorite composer.’

In the ensuing passage, the tempo picks up and we hear these characters growing bolder. When the tempo slows again, we are in “The Spell.” No fewer than four Mozart sonatas are quoted: K. 279, K. 281, K. 330, and K. 332. Elements of the melodic turns in these fragments seem somehow familiar, and in fact we`ve just heard them slightly disguised in `The Chameleon Circle.` As the Mozart music overlaps and combines in ways in which Mozart never intended (but which, I think, he might have approved...) the night is filled with charmed animals, crickets, and of course, chameleons. At the height of their reverie, though, there is a stamping of feet a scattering of tiny legs and the sounds of the jungle at night return, with the barest echoes of Mozart still lingering in the breeze.”

Raptures of Undream

by Bruce Hamilton

Raptures of Undream was written for the Indiana University Percussion Ensemble, Wilber T. England, director.

The piece is scored for six players, armed each with a drum (floor tom) and a cymbal. Overall, the work is divided into four sections delineated by tempo. Rhythmic (and melodic) motives are presented and developed through a series of divergent textures and rhythmic guises. As in other works by the composer, a prominent theme is the contrast between contrapuntal, pointillistic sections and passages of unison rhythm. Essential to the piece is the sense of “groove” (i.e., flavored pulse) which serves as the underpinning to the sometimes wild (and rapturous) rhythmic excursions.
