Portrait in Rhythm is a study in various rhythmic moods and will challenge your players to “stay on their toes” and concentrate on rhythmic accuracy. But, the piece is so much more than that. Veteran composer Gary Fagan has written a wonderfully tuneful composition that uses ever changing rhythm to give it it's "hock" but without sacrificing a wonderful melodic sensibility.
Among the most important parameters in music is rhythm. It is rhythm that give music its drive and vitality and causes us to tap our foot (many times unconsciously) when we listen to music. Portrait in Rhythm is a study in various rhythmic moods and will challenge your players to “stay on their toes” and concentrate on rhythmic accuracy. It is also an ideal study in changing meters moving through 5/4, ¾, 4/4 and 6/8 meters throughout the piece.
