Description

Aftershock! by Alan Keown is the musical successor to Shockwave! Scored for the same instrumentation as its predecessor — two sets of bongos, high and low congas, and four graduated toms — this medium-easy piece is scored (and staged) to emphasize call-and-response phrasing and section-to-section statements.

The piece uses a short, syncopated motif that permeates the work while serving as a rhythmic training tool for younger players. With many of the rhythms being played in unison (or subsections of the ensemble), players can build confidence while performing a fun work of “drummy” goodness for their audience!

Aftershock! ships as a fully bound score and includes individual parts in PDF format for either printing or tablet viewing.

Instrumentation

2 Pairs of bongos

2 Congas (high & low)

4 Toms (graduated high to low)
