In the Valley of the Kings composed by Kevin Erickson. Timpani Solo. For timpani solo. timpani. Level 5. Book. Published by Innovative Percussion. IP.T-KE-VAL. Composer's Notes. This piece was written expressly for the 1998 Percussive Arts Society Composition Contest in which it was awarded Second Prize Winner. To the performer. The intent of the piece is to provide the performer with a vehicle for exploring the timpani as a melodic instrument, while at the same time allowing much room for developing musicality and performance skills. At the same time it was important to me that the piece be accessible to the listener, so that at times they may forget that they are listening to a set of drums. same for the performer as well. I mean, how often does one walk away from a percussion recital humming themes from a timpani solo, right. I would hope that the performer would strive to achieve every bit of color, nuance, and expression that one would put into a solo marimba work. The idea for the piece came about from a fascination with ancient Egyptian culture and artifacts that dates back to my childhood, hence the title of the piece and its movements. I view the piece as three settings, in contrasting styles, based upon particular impressions I have developed in my mind over the years. "This is a creative solo for four timpani written in three movements, each of which has references to Indian music and textures. In addition to normal stroke techniques, additional. and unusual. approaches including playing on the bowls, in the center of the heads and clicking the mallets together. Special effects include fingertip rolls. a la tabla performance. , one-handed brush rolls, pedal tremelos and glissandi. The first movement is short, being just 28 measures. Even though it is written in common time, there are measures with rhythmic flourishes with the knuckles on the bowls. Movement 2 is a march that has a loose ABCAB form. The final movement opens with a stately rubato introduction that leads to a fast toccata with rhythmic syncopation and meter changes. This interesting solo was the second place winner in the PAS Composition Contest. " - George Frock Percussive Notes, December 1999.

Hierdie stuk is uitdruklik geskryf vir die 1998 perkussie Kunste Vereniging Samestelling Contest waarin dit toegeken Tweede Prize Winner. Om die performer. Die bedoeling van die stuk is die performer te voorsien met 'n voertuig vir die verkenning van die timpani as 'n melodiese instrument, terwyl op dieselfde tyd toe te laat baie ruimte vir die ontwikkeling van musikaliteit en prestasie vaardighede. Op dieselfde tyd was dit vir my belangrik dat die stuk wees toeganklik vir die luisteraar, sodat by tye wat hulle kan vergeet dat hulle luister na 'n stel tromme. Dieselfde geld vir die performer asook. Ek bedoel, hoe dikwels 'n mens loop weg van 'n perkussie-uitvoering neurie temas van 'n timpani solo, reg. Ek hoop dat die performer sal streef daarna om elke bietjie van kleur, nuanse, en uitdrukking te bereik dat 'n mens in 'n solo marimba werk sou sit. Die idee vir die stuk gekom het uit 'n bekoring met antieke Egiptiese kultuur en artefakte wat dateer terug na my kinderjare, vandaar die titel van die stuk en sy bewegings. Ek sien die stuk as drie instellings, in kontras style, gegrond op 'n spesifieke indruk wat ek in my gedagte oor die jare. "Dit is 'n kreatiewe solo vir vier timpani geskryf in drie bewegings, wat elkeen het verwysings na die Indiese musiek en teksture. In bykomend tot die normale beroerte tegnieke, bykomende. en ongewone. benaderings, insluitend speel op die bakke, in die middel van die koppe en kliek op die stokke saam. Spesiale effekte sluit vinger rolle. 'n la tabla prestasie. , Een-handed kwas rolle, trap tremelos en sinusglissandi. Die eerste beweging is kort, om net 28 maatreëls. Selfs al is dit in die algemeen tyd geskryf is, is daar maatreëls met ritmiese floreer met die vingers op die rolbal. Beweging 2 is 'n optog wat 'n los ABCAB vorm. Die finale beweging begin met 'n statige rubato inleiding wat lei tot 'n vinnige toccata met ritmiese sinkopasie en meter veranderinge. Hierdie interessante solo was die tweede plek wenner in die PAS Samestelling Contest. - George Rotse perkussie Notes, Desember 1999.
