Performed live by Andrew Anderson.
This solo, awarded first place at the 1998 DCI Individual and Ensemble Competition, is written for a multi-percussionist playing a setup featuring an assortment of metalic timbres produced by vibes, crotales, pitched wind chimes, cymbals (Chimes, sizzle, crash, and splash) and a sizzle strip, plus temple blocks and five concert tom-toms. Challenges, such as maintaining an incessant ostinato pattern on the five toms with one hand while playing a melody using a contingent of metallophones with the other, makes this solo an ideal vehicle for developing the technique of the college multi-percussionist.
