Soliloquy and Rondo

Description

Percussion 1, Percussion 2, Percussion 3, Percussion 4, Percussion 5 — Ewazen had written a major work, The Eternal Dance of Life, for the Nexus Percussion Ensemble and wind ensemble from SMU (see video from the premiere performance here), and was subsequently asked to arrange two movements for percussion quintet only. The result is Soliloquy and Rondo, which creates "shimmering sound" and "lovely colors" through mallets and non-pitched percussion. For advanced performers. Dur.: 12'30"
