Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While composers and percussionists are working more closely than ever with one another, there are few resources that address this collaborative relationship in depth. However, Samuel Z. Solomon, himself a percussionist and teacher, offers a comprehensive examination of the issues that percussionists and composers encounter in How to Write for Percussion. The first edition, self-published in 2004, provided musicians and music programs the world over with practical and indispensible information about issues of notation, concert production, and much more. This new edition goes even further as Solomon offers more insights derived from his personal experience as a percussionist and teacher and from his collaborations with other musicians. The second edition of How to Write for Percussion expands the survey of behind-the-scenes processes-from instrument choice and notation to logistics, execution, and concert production-to uncover all the tools a composer needs to comfortably create innovative and skilled percussion composition. Solomon also includes more excerpts and performances as well as interviews with famous percussionists and composers that capture the intricacies of percussion composition. Moreover, the second edition features an expanded text with more instruments and more analysis, plus an extensive Online Video Companion containing over nine hours of videos with demonstrations, performances, interviews, and analysis to flesh out and clarify the material in the book. This updated edition of How to Write for Percussion will appeal to a wide swath of musicians including composers, arrangers, and percussionists. Those who have already utilized the first edition will welcome the upgrade, and those who have yet to benefit from Solomon's perspective will likewise find his insights illuminating.

Download or read book Not Just to Win Auditions Playing Orchestral Percussion Excerpts for Pedagogy and Enrichment written by Richard D. Puzzo (Jr.) and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teachers and performers have advocated the study of orchestral excerpts for many decades. There are articles, dissertations, reference books, and method books that provide annotated and edited excerpts for use by students.It is well known that obtaining the actual music to the excerpt for practice or to prioritize which excerpts may be asked on an audition can be a difficult and daunting task. Playing orchestral excerpts can seem complicated. Students and teachers may not know what excerpts to play or on which to start.This research has produced a collection of a wide variety of orchestral percussion excerpts collected that are analyzed in the style of Kodály song retrieval systems commonly used by general music education teachers around the world. The Orchestral Percussion Excerpt Retrieval System presented in this document contains 100 excerpts and combines features of the excerpts (keywords that describe the excerpts and are searchable), recommended recordings and internet links, average tempi, and practice suggestions that involve a reference, link to a source, or document. The printed version also includes an index.Use of a retrieval system allows teachers the flexibility to select appropriate music that supports the concepts and objectives of music lessons within a sequenced curriculum. Adaptation to the study of orchestral percussion excerpts could involve sight-reading, playing and singing simultaneously, and musical/technical interpretation. It challenges the students to think critically, listen intently, and encourages a style of practice that involves self-reflection. Use of this retrieval system can aid in the development of music literacy and music enrichment by encouraging both the practice of and listening to historically great works of music.
