Requiem for 9/11 was composed for the 10th anniversary of September
11th, a day that will always be remembered in U.S. history. It is a
peace dedicated to those who lost their lives that day, and in the
years after the attack, protecting our country and freedom. This is
my 45th composition so I decided to write something about that
tragic day. Although the events are quite different, the United
States suffered another colossal attack on American soil at Pearl
Harbor in 1941. On that day, World War II began for America,
although the war was in progress between other countries. In 1945,
the war ended, and thus the number connection of Opus 45. Major
events happened in 1945 and 2011; justice being served to two major
enemies of the United States that were responsible for so many
deaths. There are several times the numbers 9 and 11 are used. The
time signatures are obviously in connection with the date of the
attack, but there are also instances when the juxtaposition of
dynamics and the number of 16th notes are indicative of the 9/11
motive. The piece begins in E minor, before settling in E-flat
minor for the majority of the piece. This is done to mirror the
cadence: Neapolitan 6, Dominant 7, Tonic 6. E minor acts as the
enharmonic version of a N6 tonality, before moving to E-flat minor.
The dies irae appears in the beginning and a few more times in the
piece. Although this piece is a Requiem, I did not use other
portions of the Mass. The inspiration to write a Requiem comes from
Benjamin Britten, while infusing elements of my compositional
technique reminiscent of the works from Sergei Rachmaninoff and
Frederic Chopin. I chose to compose this piece for marimba because
the instrument captures so many different emotions. The marimba can
produce warm, lush sounds while exhibiting aggressive and violent
attributes. The piece opens with the dies irae as an impending
representation of tolling bells of death.I tried to combine the
effects of an ominous tone and tranquility because no one except
the terrorists realized the disaster that was to unfold. The
chaotic section represents all that happened with the planes and
also the battles that have taken place in the past decade. The
solemn section is reflecting on the lives lost, which then builds
to another climactic point in the piece. Although the piece was
completed May 2nd, I started working on the piece weeks before. On
May 1st, the world heard the news that the mastermind of the
September 11th attacks had been found. Osama bin Laden was
eliminated. The end of the piece represents the conflict that
occurred that night, followed by a small portion of "My Country tis
of Thee" as a way of giving hope to all Americans and others in the
world who have been victims of terrorist acts. Requiem for 9/11
requires a 4.6 octave marimba, or low E, at the minimum. The
performer should use discretion when choosing mallets for this
piece; choose a mallet that provides enough articulation for fast
passages and can handle roll passages. The sticking indications
used for this piece are to serve as a guide for the performer, but
the artist has freedom to alter the sticking patterns if necessary.
I used the standard ordering of mallets that most composers use:
"1" is for the outside mallet in the left hand, "2" is for the
inside mallet in the left hand, "3" is for the inside mallet in the
right hand, and "4" is for the outside mallet in the right hand.
The Ascension is a work for percussion ensemble to convey the
Ascension of Christ. After He was crucified, Jesus was taken up to
Heaven in his resurrection body in the presence of his Apostles
forty days after he was resurrected. "But unto every one of us is
given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity
captive and gave gifts unto men." Ephesians 4:7-8.
Hokkaido Jishin is about the many earthquakes that have occurred in
or around the Hokkaido area in Japan over the past decades. This
composition is at times very loud to represent the power of the
earthquake. The percussionists should perform this piece with great
intensity throughout, even during the soft sections that are barely
heard to generate a sensation of reoccurring aftershocks. This
percussion ensemble is for 6 performers playing in the traditional
Taiko drumming style using instruments that are common to most
percussion studios. The Brake Drum part should use hard mallets for
a metallic sound, and the smallest available drums should be used
for the Snare Drum and Tom Tom parts. Tenor Drum 1, 2, and 3 should
use the largest available drum. Large floor toms or small bass
drums are preferable. Individual Parts are included with the score
All Things Come to Pass is a percussion quartet composed for bass
drum, claves, woodblock, and multiple-percussion (4 toms and
hi-hat). It is a very rhythmic piece with lots of interplay between
the four parts.
A Journey Off the Beat(en) Path When I was a young boy, the
wonderful Gloria Estefan sang the eternal words to me: "Turn the
beat around, turn it upside down." I didn't quite know what that
meant, until just recently ... it was 4:20 pm on a Wednesday, to be
exact, just before tea time (beer o'clock, to some). And so, I
started off on my quest to better understand those teasingly
elusive words, thus creating this book, Drum Twisters: The Book
That Will Make You Smile With ... Frustration I know what you are
thinking ... just what is a "Drum Twister," anyway? Well, you take
a tongue-twister, but "spoken" in the language of Drum, then tuned
all the way down to the key of "thud." In other words, we're
collecting drum exercises and throwing them (and caution) into the
wind, to see where the pieces land. Then, yours truly picked them
all up, and assembled this mess into the book which you are
currently holding in your hands. (If you are looking at this on on
a screen, then you are just a plain old fancy pants.) We're talking
about drumming exercises that are very different from your average
lot, which is a good thing, because I'm sure that you are not
exactly enamored with playing "in the pocket" ALL of the time ...
Hear ye, we are gathered here today because we are bored with
hitting things the same way, over and over and over again. We are
here simply because we are crying out for something fun, yet
challenging. We can no longer accept hitting things on just the 1,
2, 3 and the 4 (Wait, drummers can actually count ... ?) Our hearts
hunger to "Turn the beat around, turn it upside down." Ladies and
gentlemen, we will be looking at things all topsy-turvy from now
on. Please prepare yourself and delve into an alternative (but no
eye- liner, please) look at playing the drums. With a polka dot
cherry on the top. You should be excited now. Really, you should
"It's been a lot of fun getting involved with sourcing the material
for this special project. Finding some of my art work that had been
hidden away for several decades was amazing and brought back many
memories. I've used some quotes here from my auto-biography
'Hellraiser' (John Blake 2009) and also from Nettie, to give you a
flavour of all things Baker I have always been interested in all
areas of creative endeavour and I hope you enjoy this collection as
much as we all did putting it together." Ginger Baker
Mark of Cain is a chamber ensemble work for 2 multi-percussionists.
The instrumentation consists of 4 congas and drumset. Based on the
4th Chapter of Genesis, this piece focuses on the mark placed on
Cain after he killed Abel. Polyrhythmic figures merge between each
performer requiring an enormous amount of dexterity to execute the
passages. Level: Extremely Advanced Duration: ca 11 minutes
The Teacher and Student method series of books have been designed
so that the student can work with their teacher in covering all of
the skills needed to perform with a particular instrument. There
are many self-teaching and highly detailed instructional books on
the market, but none have been created for a one-on-one teaching
environment. Why do you need diagrams and instruction, when you
have a well-qualified teacher sat right next to you in the room?
The answer is that you don't, and so The Teacher and Student Method
does away with the unnecessary book filler and instead fills the
pages with comprehensive and thorough exercise material. By the
time you are finished with our books, you will be ready for the
show Who better to teach you the basics of music and performance
than your very own teacher? The Teacher and Student Method Books
have pages dedicated to personal instruction on every new topic, so
you can learn what you need to learn throughout the curriculum...
and nothing else. The Teacher's Notes pages allow your teacher to
demonstrate the basics of playing your instrument, in a way that is
tailored to your needs and level of understanding. Also, they can
provide you with additional exercises and practice techniques if
need be, as well as examples from your favorite songs. While it is
very important to practice with your instrument on a daily basis,
we all know that isn't always possible. This is why The Teacher and
Student Method covers every topic in fine detail, so you are
practically becoming a seasoned musician as you progress through
the many exercises in the books. The Teacher and Student Method
Drum Set Studies Book 2 is the second in a two book series.
This book explores different possibilities of sound created by one
effect: the bending tone. It also includes concrete and efficient
steps to producing the bending tone, and then leads to applying it
smoothly and systematically in musical performances. The potential
of this tool, developed by Andre Cayer shows a new way of looking
at the vibraphone that is much more expressive.
A four mallet marimba work written for a 4.6 octave marimba. Part
of a collection of future releases.
