My Victory Won, by Todd Stalter, explores melodic and metaphorical aspects of the hymn Be Thou My Vision. Taking inspiration from the little-known third verse of the hymn, the bold, percussive introduction soon gives way to a contemplative section featuring unique and interesting timbres, and a passage for solo flute. The work ends in a triumphant, unabashed burst of energy and affirmation. (3:56).

Trio for Flute, Bassoon & Piano is the first of Chick Corea’s chamber music compositions. The piece was based in his piano improvisations but with this unusual instrumentation. The Trio was recorded in 1968 with the composer as pianist joined by flutist Hubert Laws and bassoonist Karl Porter. One curious feature is the muting of the piano strings while playing the keyboard to produce a percussive sound. Total performance time is about 5 minutes. Flute, Bassoon & Piano Duration: 5' Composed: 1972 Published by: Crystal Silence Music.

UPC: 038081557076. English. Traditional Chinese Folk Song.
One of the most enduring Chinese melodies dating back to the Ming Dynasty, this arrangement of Feng Yang Song, or Flower Drum Song, will provide technical development, listening skills, and is just beautiful. Arranged by Bob Phillips using the G and D major pentatonic scales, the sounds that might have been heard centuries ago are well-represented in the strings. All sections play the melody as well as accompaniment parts in pizzicato or as percussive taps on the top of their instruments using the finger pads of the left hand. Correlated to Sound Innovations for String Orchestra, Book 2, Level 2. (2:30) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

Intenso, by Victor López, is an exciting composition full of contrasts. Following a soft and solemn opening, thundering interruptions set the tone for the melody and intertwined percussive patterns.

Using a recurring two-measure loop, this uniquely constructed piece is built up around various musical building blocks that are constantly evolving and transforming. The music is dramatic and dynamic, with full-blown ensemble passages suddenly dropping to quiet, powerful moments without ever losing the music's continuous drive. Following an exotic, bluesy middle section the piece builds, accelerating to a thrilling, rhythmic, percussive finish. A real tour de force! Duration: 7:00.

Escape from Dead Raider's Hollow is a fast-paced adventure. Opening quietly, the introduction gradually builds in volume and energy up to a tempo change where the piece takes off and doesn't relent until the end. Combining rhythms of 3 over a pulse of 2 creates a hemiola effect that drives the piece forward, creating a feeling of anxiety and being chased. This is a bombastic, action-packed piece with loud percussive hits, huge brass, and soaring woodwinds that ends with a bang. (2:30).

A frenetic pace characterizes this piece written in the true Italian style of the 6/8 couples dance. Thought to have been danced to ward off the effects of the bite of the tarantula spider, there's nothing that severe here---just a wonderful, percussive rondo. The piece features some lively syncopation and ends with an extended finish that gets more rousing with each passing measure. Your audiences will be tapping their feet from the opening measure, and your orchestra will want to play it over and over.

Broken Runes is a bold piece for late beginners in B minor by Doug Spata. Successive down bows at the frog create a ferocious percussive ostinato, and the challenging staccato eighth notes of the main theme add to the primitive style. The piece is rhythmically simple, tonally accessible, and features all sections of the orchestra. Students will love showing off this piece at your next concert! (1:50).
