An unaccompanied, multimovement work with each movement containing a variety of meters and tempos.

Four Pieces for Timpani is a staple in standard timpani repertoire. The pieces are strong enough to be played individually yet contrast enough to be played as a suite.

A work for medium-advanced timpanist in three movements. The first is primal and rhythmic; the second is soft, lyrical, and filled with rolls; the third is march-like and melodic.
