Truncated - for percussion trio

Calvin Warren III

Always leave ‘em wanting more. Calvin Warren III’s Truncated does just this! Short, aggressive, and to the point, this percussive tour de force serves up a delicious “note sandwich” for three hungry players looking to showcase their individual and collective abilities. Features of the work include continual “over the bar” sounding phrases, layers of three-, four-, and five-note groupings superimposed on one another, split parts (à la tonal marching bass lines), short solos, and interesting metric modulations. A groove is maintained more or less throughout, keeping the sum total of the parts listenable and even toe tappable! At just two minutes in length and with a relatively minimal setup around a shared kick drum, the piece offers a great opportunity to wow the audience and leave them wanting more.Truncated ships as a fully bound score and includes individual parts in PDF format for either printing or tablet viewing.
