 IIUTRODUCTION

This collection represents mgrcontinuir4f interest in the grrical possibilities of

mallet instnrments e)q)ressed from an American compogitional point of view. I
have also tried to state and develop materlat in zuch a nuulner a,sto provide the
grcatst accessibility to the listener and to as many players as possible; partictr-
lar\y, tJrose mwicians at tJre beglinnin/intermediate lwel. The phrasing, e;mam-
ics, and pedaling written in tlrese pleces are certainJ;r appropriate. However, I
would strong\r sqggest each player develop and refine his or her sense of expres-
sion to stdt tJreir need,s,requiremenB, and indlviduat r-rnderstanding!.

The relationship betnreen melodJr, Irarmorly and rhythm in this mr:sic is inte-
gFal to a first'rate performance. I would ask ttre player to try and analSze, to ttrre
best of ttreir ability, the composer's intentlons in writing tJre piece.

Above al I , I hope you erlj oy playingl ttre collectlon. After years now a"sa published.
composer, rr\y continued. gfratitude to all of the percussionists aror:nd the world.
who play rq5rmusic.
