Kirk J. Gay
Farfenmarch
solo for timpani

Based on themes from Mahler's 7th Symphony, Farfenmarch is an enjoyable solo for four timpani. Various sections contrast from march style to adagio, and make full utilization of all four drums. Glissandi effects are used occasionally as well as a few areas of minor pedaling.

Farfenmarch is currently on the group 1 solo list for the Florida Bandmasters Association, and will provide a great selection for recitals, festivals or juries.

This piece comes as a professionally bound folio, and is not available as downloadable merchandise. Requires 4 timpani.
