Publisher Desc.  Prelude for Percussion was influenced by some of my favorite percussion ensemble works including Chavez's Toccata, Malloy Miller's Prelude for Percussion, and Del Borgo's Preludio for Percussion. This piece is my homage to those amazing works. Prelude for Percussion showcases the expressive and dynamic range of percussion instruments and serves as an exciting opener for a concert. What starts as an improvisatory march, turns into a tour de force of excitement and virtuosity. Instrumentation: Timpani (4) Tom-Toms (4) Snare Drum Military Drum or Field Drum Bass Drum/Tam Tam
