Trio for Flute, Bassoon & Piano is the first of Chick Corea’s chamber music compositions. The piece was based in his piano improvisations but with this unusual instrumentation. The Trio was recorded in 1968 with the composer as pianist joined by flutist Hubert Laws and bassoonist Karl Porter. One curious feature is the muting of the piano strings while playing the keyboard to produce a percussive sound. Total performance time is about 5 minutes. Flute, Bassoon & Piano Duration: 5' Composed: 1972 Published by: Crystal Silence Music.

Broken Runes is a bold piece for late beginners in B minor by Doug Spata. Successive down bows at the frog create a ferocious percussive ostinato, and the challenging staccato eighth notes of the main theme add to the primitive style. The piece is rhythmically simple, tonally accessible, and features all sections of the orchestra. Students will love showing off this piece at your next concert! (1:50).

This high-energy piece opens with a brief, powerful introductory fanfare that leads to a rapid-paced set of melodic fragments, contours, and rhythms derived from the well-known Austrian hymn, before hurtling its way through a variety of meters, interspersed with percussive punctuation. (2:00).

Written for the superb Domus ensemble, Casken's vivid addition to the small number of modern piano quartets exploits the very different sonorities, weight and attack which strings and piano possess. Casken's music has a strong sense of theatre and here the singing lines are constantly threatened by dynamic, rhythmic material. '... this 16-minute single movement explores the essential dichotomy between the dynamic percussive keyboard and the singing, more cohesive strings.' (Christopher Morley. The Birmingham Post. 1990).

Zu diesem außergewöhnlichen Solowerk für Bassposaune ließ sich der französische Komponist Aulio von einem der berühmtesten mythologischen Bücher inspirieren: den Metamorphosen des griechischen Dichters Ovid. Aulio vertonte die darin enthaltene dramatische Geschichte von Phaeton, der sich den Wagen seines Vater Helios, dem Sonnengott, auslieh und bei seinem Himmelsritt beinahe die ganze Welt in Brand setzte. Trombone basse solo / Ensemble instrumental : Fl te traversière • Cor anglais • Petite Clarinette en Mib • Cor en Fa • Harpe • Contrebasse • Piano / Percussions : Vibraphone • Cloche tube (Do#) • Fouet • Crécelle • Petit gong chinois ascendant. / PHAETHON : Le poète latin Ovide [43 av. J.-C./17 après J.-C.] a consigné dans ses Métamorphoses, véritable texte fondateur de la mythologie classique, quelques-unes des légendes antiques les plus immortelles dont le mythe de Phaethon et le char solaire. Né d’une liaison entre l’Océanide Clymène et Hélios (le Soleil), Phaethon entretient des doutes sur sa filiation divine. Il décide alors de se rendre au palais du Soleilpour obtenir confirmation de son lignage. Le Soleil l’accueille en fils et s'engage, par un serment qu'il ne peut rompre, lui accorder la faveur de son choix pour prouver sa paternité. Phaethon lui demande de le laisser conduire le char solaire durant un jour. Lié par son serment, Hélios sait qu’il doit honorer sa promesse. Il tente vainement de dissuader son fils, invoquant son jeune ge, sa condition de mortel et le caractère surhumain de la t che. Sourd aux paroles de son père, Phaethon prend les rênes et les quatre coursiers du Soleil s’élancent dans les cieux. Très vite, il perd le contrôle de la situation. Le char dévie alors de sa course habituelle. Phaethon, complètement perdu, assiste impuissant la ruine et la dévastation qui se répand partout sur la terre. Alors que l’univers entier est en flammes, Jupiter, pour éviter la destruction du monde, foudroie le jeune Phaethon et arrête la course du char. Le corps embrasé du fils du Soleil est précipité travers l'espace et tombe dans le fleuve Éridan, où les Na ades de l'Hespérie lui dressent un tombeau et une épitaphe : « Ci-gît Phaethon, qui fut l'aurige du char de son père ; Il ne put le maîtriser, mais sa grande témérité le perdit. » / Phaethon est une commande de Frédéric Potier - trombone basse solo de l’Opéra national de Paris et professeur au CNSM de Lyon.

Escape from Dead Raider's Hollow is a fast-paced adventure. Opening quietly, the introduction gradually builds in volume and energy up to a tempo change where the piece takes off and doesn't relent until the end. Combining rhythms of 3 over a pulse of 2 creates a hemiola effect that drives the piece forward, creating a feeling of anxiety and being chased. This is a bombastic, action-packed piece with loud percussive hits, huge brass, and soaring woodwinds that ends with a bang. (2:30).
