July 3, 200916 yr Does anybody know any recordings and scores of percussion repertoire for study? Best is online and free. I looked at some Kraft and Cirone. Writing a piece for amplified viola, electronics, horn, and percussion but I need to study some literature first.
July 3, 200916 yr Percussion reportoire ? ... you mean for Percussion only ? ... or with substantial percussion parts ? you may go to Main Page - IMSLP/Petrucci Music Library: Free Public Domain Sheet Music and seek for .... mmm let me see .... Stravinsky ? ... works with percussions parts (something more than Timpani and Cymbals)
July 3, 200916 yr Author Yeah I'm looking for chamber music that features percussion... pref. something after Bartok
July 3, 200916 yr Hmm, hard to say, since there are so many percussion pieces after Bartok. There are a few (solo percussion) piece I know are on Youtube, such as: Xenakis: Rebonds A, Rebonds B, Psappha Ferneyhough: Bone Alphabet (look a good recording of this - then it's awesome) Stockhausen: Zyklus Tenney: Never written a note for percussion (well you could say this is too concentrated on one thing to be much help to get an overview on percussion technique, similar to Stockhausen's "Mikrophonie"). You'll probably also find recordings of Steve Reich's Drumming, and some Cage pieces for percussion (such as Third Construction in metal), Amores, etc. There's some great Henze stuff too, where percussion has an important role (such as El Cimarr

David Gillingham writes some good stuff too. His Concerto for Percussion Ensemble is great, as far as scoring goes.
July 3, 200916 yr Somebody likes Steve Schick.....:D Hah, yeah, I indeed listened to his Ferneyhough and Xenakis not long ago :D
July 3, 200916 yr Hah, yeah, I indeed listened to his Ferneyhough and Xenakis not long ago :D He is quite awesome. We had him here at OCU in January and he performed the first 6 pieces you listed as well as 'Toucher' which is a pretty nifty piece as well. He's quite the intellectual. That man can talk haha.
July 19, 200916 yr maybe you will wanna look some music of Carlos Chavez and Silvestre Revueltas... they featured a great percussion part... P.D: I will be very interesting on earing your piece once you fineshed
