  • Three Short Songs is written for the percussion duo, Apex Percussion, and is scored for concert snare drum and malletSTATION-a MIDI keyboard played with yarn mallets or similar implements. The work is divided into three movements (or songs) each of which can serve as a standalone piece. Performers shift between melodic and accompanimental roles highlighting a breadth of instrumental timbres, playing styles, and songlike textures central to the work as a whole. Three Short Songs includes a diverse musical vocabulary that draws from rudimental and classical percussion repertoires, as well as popular and electronic genres. This is not only represented rhythmically and harmonically, but also by specific stickings and permutations.

    Rosa Westfall, Audio Engineer/Mixing
    Konstantine Vlasis, Composer

    I know im a little bit late to commenting so yall might not see this, but i am a teenage mallets player at my school who would love to see someone else play some form of eurobeat, such as Night of FIre, Running in the 90s. and so many more. I feel like that if you did do it, it might blow up and become a pep band mallets solo thing like how the quads have their JIG 2. Thanks

    The mallet station looks difficult to play and yet so rewarding...
    2 mallets per hand? Is that the standard way to do that? So cool.

    • @ApexPercussion
      @ApexPercussion  Před 3 lety +1

      It’s not necessarily the standard, but it is one way to play it! Fairly common in the percussion community at least

    That's a wonderful and innovative composition, masterfully performed, but why all the annoying photography changes. When both musicians are playing together, why not just show the split screen as if we were watching it live??! The modern tendency to think viewers don't have more than about a 2 second attention span is insulting and distracting. The art work here is the music not the video production!
