Moores School Percussion Ensemble I

Friday, April 23, 2021

7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

The Moores School Percussion Ensembles will present their Spring 2021 concert on Friday. April 23, 2021, at 7:30pm in the Moores Opera House.

Under the direction of Blake Wilkins, the MSPE I will perform a series of small percussion quartets, including David Crowell’s “Music for Percussion Quartet,” Matthew Curlee’s “Decay No. 1,” Istvan Marta’s “The Doll’s House Story,” and Bruce Hamilton’s “Raptures of Undream.” The program also includes two works for larger percussion orchestra (ten players each): Michael Hennagin’s “Duo Chopinesque” draws upon Chopin’s Prelude in e-minor as source material a thoroughly modern work that contrasts Chopin’s contemplative music with aggressive and percussive interjections; and “Chameleon Music” by Dan Welcher, similarly drawing on piano music of Mozart, is a musical impression inspired by Truman Capote’s “Music for Chameleons,” a short story in which the author recounts visiting a friend in Martinique who played Mozart on the piano on her terrace, attracting and mesmerizing chameleons.
