Trap Style Drumming

SKU: CF.CPS239

ISBN 9781491157855. UPC: 680160916450. 9 x 12 inches.

The energy and drive of this piece uses simple time signatures of 4/4 and 3/4 and mixes groups of three notes and syncopation to the rhythm and the melody. There is also a use of a musical term called hemiola, when groups of two beats are replaced by groups of three beats, creating a shift between duple and triple meter. Syncopation adds a modern, jazzy, popular feel to this exciting concert band composition. Along with syncopation and popular influences are countermelodies to the main theme that are as important as the melody for balance and blend. This adds a feeling of baroque or renaissance style to the texture. Yet the melodies, chords, and structure are recognizable and enjoyable to listen to and perform. The middle 3/4 section is slightly slower featuring brass and saxophones and played legato. Then at the key change, it becomes more articulate and contrapuntal. The a tempo at m. 88 returns to the original thematic material, differing slightly from the beginning, and the coda has some added technical and challenging woodwind passages. The cymbal/triangle part has a lot of directions on choking, hi-hat sound, etc., that will add nice color to the piece if performed as indicated.

This is not an encyclopedia, but an unusual juxta position of two styles of music. The fanfare is an exciting straight-ahead bit of writing which works its way through contrapuntal and polytonal paths and somehow finds itself in the middle of a funk version of itself. After some solos and a drum solo transition the music completes the symmetric circle and ends as it started. A great opener!
