More than eighty years have passed since Edgard Varese's catalytic
work for percussion ensemble, Ionisation, was heard in its New York
premiere. A flurry of pieces for this new medium dawned soon after,
challenging the established truths and preferences of the European
musical tradition while setting the stage for percussion to become
one of the most significant musical advances of the twentieth
century. This 'revolution', as John Cage termed it, was a
quintessentially modernist movement - an exploration of previously
undiscovered sounds, forms, textures, and styles. However, as
percussion music has progressed and become woven into the fabric of
Western musical culture, several divergent paths, comprised of
various traditions and a multiplicity of aesthetic sensibilities,
have since emerged for the percussionist to pursue. This edited
collection highlights the progressive developments that continue to
investigate uncharted musical grounds. Using historical studies,
philosophical insights, analyses of performance practice, and
anecdotal reflections authored by some of today's most engaged
performers, composers, and scholars, this book aims to illuminate
the unique destinations found in the artistic journey of the modern
percussionist.
