Lonely
City Suite
for solo snare drum
Description:
Written
in three movements, Lonely City Suite
is an outstanding new solo for concert snare drum. It requires
a virtuosic approach to the instrument and demands a high level
of technical proficiency towards extreme dynamics and touch.
The first movement,
"Another Day in the Back Bay," combines
techniques found in many orchestral snare drum etudes and "groove-like"
micro-temporal structures. The second movement, "Things
Fall Apart," is intended to be a mixed-meter funeral
march. The third movement, "Last One Out,"
is in short rondo form (A-B-A-C-A) with the content of the "B"
and "C" sections consisting of expanding rhythmic cells.
Lonely City Suite
comes as a professionally bound folio, and is not available as
downloadable merchandise.
 Listen
to the recording
performed by Dr. Jason Baker, director of percussion at Mississippi
State University.
